Lyon vs Reims tips and predictions

Tough assignment for Reims

Lyon are currently in tenth place as they get set to welcome ninth place Reims. With only 4 points between them, both teams will want to get a result here.

If you want some skin in the game, the big price available against Reims could be a bit of fun.

The hosts will be looking to put some of their latest tepid outings behind them. In recent home matches Lyon's goal-scorers haven't been at their best. They've slotted only 1 goal in their latest 3 games on their own paddock which is a fact that could resonate with supporters of the upset. Lyon's performances when under the cosh have raised some questions. They conceded three or more goals in 6 of their last 18 home matches. If they are facing any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

Reims have delivered some quality displays. Their better displays have been helped by their quality in front of goal. They've scored two or more goals in 5 of their last 6 away fixtures and if they're to get anything from this game their play-makers will be the key. While they are not hugely fancied there is still some justification for the visitors to come through this test.

Most observers believe that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Lyon. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting. As far as the total goals line goes, it's over 2.5 goals standing out in this one considering the price on offer.

The head-to-head shows that Lyon have only won 2 of the last 11 games between these two.
