Prediction: 1-1
Reims
This Saturday’s Ligue 1 round 3 action, will see Newly Promoted Stade Brestois 29, host last season’s promotion winners Stade Reims at the Stade Francis Le Ble. Both teams come into this game on the back of a draw and will look to build from that result. Reims have started their campaign well with a win and a draw and currently occupy the Europa league qualification spot , meanwhile Brest drew both their opening fixtures are seated on the 12th sport.
Over the past decade, Brest and Reims have played each other 8 times with their last meeting being a Ligue 2 match that ended 0-0. Brest leads head to head count with 3 wins to Reims’s 1 whist the remaining 4 matches ended as draws. This fixture has traditionally been a low scoring affair, averaging just 1.1 goals per game. The teams are fairly even on paper and we believe, Brest’s home advantage will be cancelled out by Reims current form and momentum. We also believe this will be a low scoring game, a testament to the fixture’s results in the past.
