Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Total Goals under 2.5 – 2.14
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – X2 and Total Goals under 3.5 – 1.80
Four of the previous four meetings between Reims and Nice have been drawn, while three of them were goalless. It’s very likely that the trend will continue.
X2 and Total Goals under 3.5
The good news for Nice is that Strasbourg will play away match against Marseille, who are in a tough race with Monaco for the second place.
Moreover, second place qualifies directly for the Champions League group stage, while the third-placed team in the league will advance to the third qualifying round of the UCL 2021-22.
To point out, there is a strong possibility that Strasbourg will drop points in that match. We think that Nice players know about that and they will be more confident and motivated for their fixture. Thus, we will back Nice’s win or draw outcome for the upcoming clash.
Reims come into this game in a quite good form, as they are looking to secure a higher place in the Ligue 1 standings.
Oscar Garcia’s team easily achieved their season’s main objective of not being relegated, especially because they managed to grab points against teams at the bottom of the league standings.
Moreover, Reims are one of the league teams that have got more points as an away team, than as a home side (21 points at home and 25 away).

On the other hand, after losing in the Coupe de France final against Nantes, Nice are hopeful to catch European spots via Ligue 1.
Christian Galtier’s side sits in sixth place. Nice have the same number of points as fifth-place Strasbourg (63), but with a six-goal differential to make up, Les Aiglons best chance to catch a UEFA Conference League spot would be to pass up Strasbourg so that team wouldn’t need to rely on goal difference.
