Reims v Lille predictions and betting tips

Reims finished 14th last season, but this season they are expected to have a tough time and are one of the favourites for relegation. Lille finished 6th last season, and they should be able to clinch the 5th place this season and give the big teams a run for their money.

Reims started the season with a 2-1 loss away to Rennes. Their best player was defensive midfielder Krychowiak who also scored their goal. Reims had 47% possession and a good 15 attempts, of which 6 were from set pieces.

Lille hosted Lorient in their first match, and won 1-0 after an early goal in the 13th minute. There were few attempts in the match, Lille losing both the attempts and goals on target stats (6-7 and 3-4) while keeping 52% possession – in other words not a very impressive match, but Lille were decent at protecting their lead. Man of the match was Lille left defender Souare.

The two teams have not met each other often, of the three encounters Lille have won twice and tied once. This fixture last season ended with a draw 1-1, Reim scoring early in the 7th minute and Lille getting the equalizer in 72nd minute. Lille dominated the possession (58%) and had twice as many attempts and shots on target, Reims played wide and favoured long balls. Man of the match was Lille central defencer Chedjou, best Reims player was central defender Weber.

For Reims, Fofana, Ghisolfi and Diego are out with injury, while Lille have Sidibe injured and Mendes doubtful, while forward Roux is still suspended due to spitting on a referee during pre-season.

Lille are the best team, but the 1x2 prices do not look that interesting. What looks more interesting is the under 2.5 goals – Reims have played under 2.5 in their last 8 Ligue 1 home matches, and coupled with Lille’s few attempts and shots on targets in their season opener, I go with under 2.5 goals at 4/7 (1.57) with Bet365.
