Reims vs Lille Prediction and Match Preview

Reims vs Lille Match Preview

The last season was average for Reims as the team finished at 9th in the standings and have failed to bag a safe zone spot for four points. They had a weak pre-season friendlies as the team conceded four winless games in their last six friendly games.

Reims will face Lille, who has finished fourth in the last Ligue 1 season. Going on, Lille had an impressive form in the warm-up outings as they won the last two friendlies in a row and has met teams like Celta Vigo and Fenerbahce.

Moving on, Lille can also rely on the recent tradition since they were unbeaten in five of the last eight encounters against Reims. At this venue, the past four overall wins in the head-to-head were evenly split, with two each for both sides. Last three meetings at this stadium had goals under 2.5 ft.

Furthermore, Reims has a decent form at home of late. They are on a three-match unbeaten streak at home, but faced Auxerre and Fleury-Merogis in that stretch. Meanwhile, Lille will enter this fixture following a decent away form. They were unbeaten in five of the last six matches on the road and has scored 8 goals in that period, which is noteworthy.

Reims vs Lille Prediction

Lille will head into this fixture following a decent on the road form. On top of that, they have an upper hand in the recent tradition of this match-up. Therefore, we expect a win for Lille on Saturday. Their recent goal trend on the road inclines us to back a 1-0 win for the Lille side as the main pick.

Lille has recorded three under 2.5 goal matches in the last four away outings. This includes fixtures against a couple of prominent European teams. On top of that, all the h2h clashes at this stadium were low-scoring. Thus, you can also back the under 2.5 goals tip for this match.
