Nice vs Reims Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in 17 of the last 20 meetings between these sides.
• Under 2.5 goals has landed in eight of Reims’ last ten Ligue 1 fixtures.
• Nine of the last 15 meetings between these sides have ended as draws.

Low-scoring affair backed at the Allianz Riviera

Nice clinched a huge win over PSG in their battle for Champions League qualification, but they may drop points in a low-scoring affair against Reims on Friday.

The hosts sit sixth in the Ligue 1 table but are just four points adrift of second-place Marseille, with six teams still in contention for an all-important top-three spot in France’s top division.

However, they have only won one and scored four goals in their last four home matches, and Reims have plenty to play for as they look to move further clear of the relegation battle.

Les Rouges et Blancs have only lost one of their last seven in all competitions and have kept three consecutive clean sheets away from home in the league.

17 of the last 20 meetings between these sides have gone under 2.5 goals, and Reims have seen fewer than three goals in eight of their last ten Ligue 1 games. Five of Nice’s last seven at home have featured fewer than three goals, too, making under 2.5 goals a solid prediction.

Reims have drawn two of their last three away games, and nine of the last 15 encounters between these sides have ended all square, so a 1-1 draw is an option for correct score punters.
