Reims form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Reims have managed 8 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 17 games.

No payout for Reims in their previous match, an away game at Lens that ended in defeat 1-2. The striker Balogun edged out all others in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.14 out of 10. Balogun scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times.

Ahead of that match, Reims won a home game hosting Lille (1-0).

It should be considered that a look at the 14 latest league fixtures shows that 11 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

Reims are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Angers SCO form and stats

There's been little loot from Angers SCO's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 17 away games in the Ligue 1. Angers SCO only have 1 win to counter their 14 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Angers SCO have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Angers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Olympique Marseille (placed 3rd). Bentaleb got a match rating of 7.31 in that game, top player of the team. Bentaleb hit two key passes and had 47 successful passes (of 54 total).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Monaco.

Observe that 9 of this team's 12 most recent league matches have ended with at least three goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Angers SCO as they have only managed to score 11 times from 17 away games in the league. Angers have conceded 42 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Reims and Angers SCO have played each other earlier this season: Angers SCO - Reims 2-4. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Reims four wins, four draws and Angers SCO two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less. The matches between these teams sometimes lean towards being ill-tempered, having seen 9 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
