This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, Reims holding 19th place and Nantes lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Reims have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Reims form and stats
With {1 Ligue 1 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Reims are certainly not brimming with confidence.
In their previous game, the manager D. Guion led his Reims to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Brest. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Auguste-Delaune II. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Nice that ended 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Reims perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Reims as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Reims has won five of these, 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 Olympique Marseille in only three days.
Reims has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. On the other hand, Reims have conceded 8 goals.
Nantes form and stats
There's been little loot from Nantes's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Ligue 1. Nantes only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Nantes delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Dijon (placed 20th) in their previous match; a Ligue 1 game. Preceding that, the 0-4 home loss versus Strasbourg.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nantes playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were one Nantes win, five draws and eleven defeats.
A new game in only four days for Nantes, the Ligue 1 home match versus Angers SCO. Busy days.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Nantes have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
