Reims vs St Etienne Predictions

• Reims have drawn three of their last six league games, two of which have ended goalless
• Saint-Etienne have drawn five of their last six league games, two of which have ended goalless
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last five encounters between these two clubs.

Bottom Half Rivals Set for Stalemate

Reims played out a goalless draw at home to struggling Dijon in midweek, while Saint-Etienne picked up their fifth draw in six matches at home to Pochenttino’s PSG. Those results mean that these two clubs remain divide by a solitary point in the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table.

The last time Reims and Saint-Etienne met, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Saturday’s hosts will be confident of securing at least a point from this game after they picked up 4pts from their two clashes against Saint-Etienne last season. Neither of these two teams can claim to be in good form heading into Saturday’s clash, but Reims edge the form guide with two wins, three draws and one defeat from their last six matches.

Saint-Etienne have established themselves as one of the division’s draw specialists over the last month, with five of their last six league games ending in stalemates. Reims’ last three draws all produced under 2.5 goals, two of which ended goalless, while two of Saint-Etienne’s last five draws also ended 0-0.

With these two sides so closely matches and both drawing a lot of games lately, we’re predicting another stalemate on Saturday. In terms of a final scoreline, we’re backing the game to end goalless as both sides have seen two of their last six matches. Both teams played in midweek and we are bound to see the effects of tired legs in both team’s performances this weekend.
