Lyon v Reims predictions and betting tips

Lyon are hosting Reim in this third round Ligue 1 match. Lyon are on to a great start winning both their matches, beating Nice at home 4-0 and then Sochaux away 3-1. Their most recent match was the Champions League play-off match in the mid-week, where they lost at home 2-0 to Real Sociedad. The return leg is played in Spain this coming mid-week, and it will be a very difficult task for Lyon to reach the group stage of CL. Lyon had the most possession (53%) and the most attempts (12), but Real Sociedad had twice as many attempts on target. Central defender Bisevac got a red card in the 75th minute.

Reims finished 14th last season and this season they are expected to be among the teams fighting to avoid relegation. They have so far won one match and lost one and are currently in 7th position. They lost 2-1 away to Rennes in the first match, and won the second match at home 2-1 against Lille. In the match against Lille they had only three shots on target and 33% possession, so highly effective to get two goals. Central midfielder Albæk opened the score sheet after only seven minutes, then they increased their lead after 67 minutes, while Lille got one goal back in the 88th minute. Albæk and left defender Mandi were the two best Reims players. 

Lyon v Reims predictions

This fixture last season ended with Lyon winning 3-0, the other fixture Reims won 1-0 at home, and those are the only two times the teams have met. Lyon dominated their home match, with 59% possession and 18 attempts. Reims only had two attempts and one of them was on target. Man of the match was Lyon defensive central midfielder Malbranque.

Lyon have few injury worries, goalie Vercoutrie, attacking midfielder Ghezzal, and defender Dabo are out due to injuries, but they have not played any of the matches this season. For Reims defender Signorino and attacking midfielder Ayte are out. Both played the season opener but not last match, and Ayite was one of Reims’ best players in that match.

Lyon v Reims betting tips for 1x2

Reims would have gotten a boost of confidence due to their win in the last match, but overall Lyon are in much better form in the league matches and should win this one. I take Lyon at odds 8/15 (1.53) with Bet365.
