REIMS-NICE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

After two initial losses, Reims is on a very good run. They haven’t lost in their last 5 games, with 3 home wins, and two away draws. They are standing on the 8^th position, which is way better than their own expectations. Nice is having an average start, with a 1-5-1. In 3 away games, they got 3 draws. Reims is the third best team home so far, with 9 points in 4 games.

REIMS-NICE PREDICTIONS TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Despite the fact that their team is young and lacks of experience in the top league, they show themselves very solid, either home or away. They are enjoying a group of players which has been playing together for a while, but we can expect them to have difficulties once the top teams will be running better.

Nice changed its coach and a couple important players left this summer, so there is nothing surprising about their first games. The new coach, Claude Puel, is known for building solid teams, even with an average squad, and we can already see his style in Nice’s game. Most of their games were quite tough, and they managed to hold every time, even in difficult trips. I expect them to just get better and better as weeks pass.

REIMS-NICE PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETS PREVIEW

As the home side, Reims is seen as favorite, with a win set at 2.24 with Pinnacle. The draw is at 3.2 with Ladbrokes, and the Nice win can be found at 3.81 with Pinnacle. I would tend to go for Nice because I really like this high odd in such a tight game, but the draw is also very likely, so I will take a handicap for Nice.

REIMS-NICE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian handicap is set at Reims -0.25 at 1.91 with 188bet, and Nice +0.25 at 2.02 with Pinnacle. As I said, I think Nice’s game will just get better, and Reims is currently over performing, so I go for Nice +0.25.

REIMS-NICE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is big favorite with an odd of 1.60 with Unibet, and the Over goes up to 2.5 with Pinnacle. Reims’s home games have an average of 2 goals, and Nice’s away games have an average of 1.33 goals. The Under looks like the logic outcome here.
