The season has been a struggle for Bordeaux so far, and the same description fits Reims. These struggling sides have a chance to get some much needed points here.

Insights:
  • Bordeaux have yet to win a game at home.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Bordeaux form and stats

Bordeaux have collected 3 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 0-3-2. Bordeaux have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The home team returns to Stade Matmut-Atlantique after being equal after 90 minutes with Lorient (placed 11th) on their last time out; the Ligue 1 game ended 1-1. Defender Stian Gregersen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.03/10. Gregersen won 7 of 8 duels.

In the match before that, Bordeaux hosted Nantes and drew the game 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bordeaux perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bordeaux as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Bordeaux has won two of these, drawn four and lost six.

The Bordeaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Bordeaux have conceded 8 from these games.

Reims form and stats

There's been little loot from Reims's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Ligue 1. Reims only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.

The manager Ó. García Junyent was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Auguste-Delaune II. Reims suffered a 1-2 loss to Troyes (placed 15th). Yunis Abdelhamid was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.64. The defender Abdelhamid scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 5 of 9 duels.

A 1-1 draw at Brest's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Reims in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Reims, four draws and three defeats.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Reims have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Bordeaux one win, three draws and Reims six victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
