Reims form and stats

Happy days for Reims in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Olympique Marseille that ended with a 2-0 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting PSG in a game that was won 3-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Reims have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Last season, Reims's league statistics were 13 wins, 16 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 8th position in the Ligue 2. Over these 38 matches they scored 39 goals and conceded 42. Playing at home last season Reims managed 8-7-4 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 18 conceded.
