Match Preview
Stade Reims come into the match on a run of four home league games undefeated but have failed to score in each of their last two league matches. They have picked up nine points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Les Rouges et Blancs lost their last league match away to ESTAC Troyes. Expected goals of 1.2 to 0.5 in favour of Troyes indicates perhaps it was a fair result. The Reims fans will be particularly disappointed with the attacking performance with their side failing to create any big chances in the match which meant they never really looked threatening despite registering 10 shots in the match. The final score of the match was 1-0.
Hugo Ekitike is Stade Reims’s top scorer with nine goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 8.5/1 to score the final goal of the game against Stade Rennais FC on Saturday.
Their opponent on Saturday, Stade Rennais FC, come into the match on a run of six league games undefeated. They have picked up 16 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Les Rennais’ five game-winning run came to an end as they shared the points in their last league match away to OGC Nice. Expected goals of 1.1 to 0.9 in favour of Nice indicates both teams probably deserved only a point.
It was Martin Terrier’s header from a free-kick 13 minutes from time that rescued a point for Rennes. Terrier remains Ligue 1’s second-highest scorer this season with 17 league goals for Rennes and is the 2.625/1 favourite to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-1.
