LYON V REIMS PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Lyon is still in a very good position after 11 games played. They are standing in the third spot, just one point away from the second Marseille and leader PSG, with a match less, as the one against Marseille was postponed.

They have only one loss, along with 6 wins and 4 draws. When they are playing home, they have a very good record of 5-1.

Reims, despite a poor recent form of 4 games without a win, is doing quite good this season, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, making them 10^th of the league with 15 points.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Lyon have suffered last week in Sochaux where they were unable to get a win, they finally drew (1-1). They could have temporarily take the lead if they would have won, they are third now, 1 point behind PSG with still one more match to play. Despite this draw, Lyon’s players remain on a very positive dynamic, they are undefeated since September 30^th and are also performing really well in Europa league where they won all their games. Gourcuff is back to his best within a team where only Michel Bastos is still injured and will be missing this game.

Reims’s dynamic is opposite to Lyon’s one. They only won 1 point out of 12 possible during last 4 games. Chronic clumsiness has been shown again last week as Reims’s players are at the moment totally unable to score, like Fauvergue and Toudic who have had many opportunities without converting a single .

LYON V REIMS PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

It is not a surprise to see Lyon as a strong favourite here with William Hill offering the best price for the home team at 1.40, draw is priced at 4.75 with Betvictor and Reims to win at 9.92 with Pinnacle. Lyon is the best team of the league at home and shouldn’t have too much problems to beat a young Reims’s side in a poor form.

LYON V REIMS PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market is set at – 1.25 for the home team at 2.01 with 188bet and Reims + 1.25 at 1.93 with Pinnacle. Lyon has won twice by more than one goal margin at home this season and Reims hasn’t lost by more than one goal away, so it looks like Lyon is favourite but won’t win by many goals margin. I think it’s safer to back on Reims here.

LYON V REIMS PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The over 2.5 goals is slightly favourite at 1.82 with Pinnacle, Betsson is offering 1.99 for the under. Considering last games, I think there is value on the under here and it worth trying the free bet offer on this market. Indeed, the total goals went only once over 2.5 goals during last 5 games played by Lyon and it happened twice when Reims was playing.
