Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2.5 Goals – 1.89
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Under 0.5 Goal in First 15 Minute -1.31
Reims to Win or Draw
Reims have clearly been in a better form in the Ligue 1, winning 1, 4 draws and yet to leave the pitch without any point in their last 5 games. They will appear to be a stronger force against Nantes at the Stade Auguste-Dulane when they lock horns with Nantes on 6th of November, 2022. The visitors have lost 2 games and drawn 2 in their last 5 Ligue 1 games.
Over 2.5 Goals
With this being another likely outcome, the homes team have in their last 6 home games have only ended one game with an goalless draw (0-0 vs PSG) where they clearly were the underdogs but still managed to hold the Parisians to a draw.
3 games out of this last 6 have all ended with an over 2.5 goals while the remaining 3 all ended in draws.
Under 0.5 Goal in First 15 Minute
The Red and Whites are yet to produce an over 0.5 goal in the first 15 minutes of their last 6 Ligue 1 home games.
Reims
Reims maintained their unbeaten streak with a draw against Brest on the 30th of October, producing another cleansheet match to mark their 3rd in the last 4 games.
Nantes
Nantes on the other hand came off the mid-week with a sensational qualification into the knockout stages of the Europa League following a 0-2 victory against Olympiacos to finish second on the Group G table.
Stade de Reims are clearly not the underdogs in this match as it’s more of a power tussle between both sides but I believe the most likely outcome would be Reims picking all three points or at worst share spoils with the visitors (1X). Another closer outcome is the Over 2.5 goals option as the game will either produce 1X or Over 2.5 Goals.
Safe Bet
Considering that the only Under 0.5 Goal match came against PSG where Reims were the underdogs and every other games in their last 6 ending with an Over 1.5 Goal then it would be wise to consider the tie against Nantes to have it’s safest bet on the Over 1.5 option.
