RENNES V REIMS PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

The home team is currently standing in the 12^th position of this championship. They have a record of 4-5-1 which keeps them away from where they should be, around the 5^th or 6^th spot.

Reims, on the opposite, is much higher than we could expect. This is their first season in Ligue 1 after a really long time, and they are doing very good, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, making them 7^th of the league.

Rennes has a good record of 3 winnings and 2 losses in 5 home games. In the meantime, Reims has taken mainly all its points when they were home, but are very poor away. They drew twice and also lost twice in 4 away fixtures.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Rennes is in a really good run at the moment. If we include the Coupe de la Ligue, this team won 5 of its 6 last games. And in championship, they lost their last game, but it was on St-Etienne’s field which is a strong team, especially on their pitch. The staff decided to take M’Vila and Mavinga back in the group after their disciplinary issue with the France U21 team.

Reims has still not been able to win an away game, but they only played against solid teams such as Toulouse, St-Etienne or PSG. After a very good run in September, they seem to be slowing down a little. In the last game, they couldn’t beat Troyes even though they were playing home.

RENNES V REIMS PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

As the home side, Rennes is logically seen as favorite in that game, with an odd of 1.7 with Pinnacle. The draw is at 3.78, and the away win is at 6.74, all with Pinnacle. Considering Rennes’ good run, and the poor away record of Reims, I will back the home team.

RENNES V REIMS PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian handicap is set at Rennes -0.75 at 1.85 with Pinnacle, and Reims +0.75 is at 2.1 with Bet365. Rennes has won only once by more than one goal at home, and Reims hasn’t lost by more than one goal away, so it looks like a coin flip to me.

RENNES V REIMS PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 is favorite, as it is set at 1.75 with Pinnacle, and the Over 2.5 is at 2.2 with Ladbrokes. Rennes’ s home games have an average of 2.8 goals this season, and Reims away ones have an average of 1.5 goals. I would back the Under but with a small stake.
