Prediction: 2-1
Nimes
Reims and Nimes square off against each other at Stade Auguste-Delaune in what is expected to be a very exciting match. Reims played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Lens before the international break, with the team extending their brilliant goalscoring run. The Reds scored ten goals in total in the previous three league fixtures, and we are positive that they will find the net against Nimes as well.
Les Crocodiles, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Angers, meaning that over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in the French top flight Nimes recorded a 2-0 win over Reims, but a high-scoring match is on the cards this time out. Keep in mind that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of Reims’ last five league fixtures.
