Reims vs Bordeaux Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in 13 of Reims’ last 17 league games
• Three of the last four meetings between this pair have featured two or fewer goals
• Reims have drawn six of their last eight home league matches

Bore draw looks on the cards

Both Reims and Bordeaux are at slight risk of being dragged into the relegation playoff spot and that may lead to a nervy encounter at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.

With relegation rivals Strasbourg and Lorient also locking horns, a draw would suit both parties here and all-but ensure their survival.

That is a likely scenario considering Reims have drawn six of their last eight home league games and Bordeaux have such a treacherous road record.

But a stronger case can be made for the game featuring under 2.5 goals.

Only four of Reims’ last 17 Ligue 1 matches have featured three or more goals, with under 2.5 clicking in 13 of their 18 fixtures on home soil.

Under 2.5 goals has also landed in three of the four league meetings between this pair to take place since 2018.

Bordeaux have lost seven of their last eight away league games, so are evidently better when armed with home advantage. Given the stakes, no side look likely to take too many unduly risks.

We predict a cagey affair and are opting for a 0-0 draw. Reims have played out goalless stalemates in three of their last eight home games.
