Reims and Angers SCO have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Ligue 1.
- Angers SCO have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Reims nor Angers SCO as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Reims form and stats
Reims have played 10 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-4 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Reims bring valid hopes of a third.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.
A good away victory last time out for Reims, who won 1-0 against Strasbourg (placed 15th). Ahead of that match, Reims won a home game hosting Brest (1-0).
Manager D. Guion felt very clever after Dereck Kutesa scored the winning goal against Strasbourg, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 75th minute.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Reims have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won eight, drawn five and lost one.
The manager D. Guion will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lorient in only three days.
The Reims fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. On the other hand, Reims have conceded 11 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Angers SCO form and stats
The visitors are W5-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Angers are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Angers had fun at their own home (Stade Auguste-Delaune II) last time out, beating Nîmes 3-1. Loïs Diony, Lassana Coulibaly and Pierrick Capelle scored. A 1-2 defeat away at Bordeaux before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Angers SCO in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Angers SCO, seven draws and four defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Angers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 1 game at Nice is waiting in only four days.
Angers are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 17 times in 11 away games so far. In the opposite end, Angers SCO have conceded 20 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Angers SCO - Reims 1-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Reims victories, five draws and one Angers SCO win. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
