Nice to boost European hopes at Reims
Stade Reims vs OGC Nice - 21/05/2022
2859
On Saturday night, Stade Reims hosts Nice at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II on the final matchday of the Ligue One campaign, with the visitors still hoping to land a European spot for next season.
Stade Reims
The home side will finish in either 11th or 12th place in the table this season after an inconsistent league campaign. Their form in Ligue One could not have been more inconsistent of late, as they head into this clash on the back of three wins and two defeats in their last five league matches.
Last time out in the French top-flight, Reims recorded a 2-1 win at struggling Saint-Etienne. The game followed a high-scoring trend for Reims in Ligue One, as four of their last five games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Reims’ recent home form has been poor in the league, as Oscar Garcia’s team has won just one of their previous seven home matches in the French top-flight. That run includes three defeats in their previous four league matches at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II.
Nice
Christophe Galtier’s team are only out of the European spots courtesy of an inferior goal difference to fifth-place Strasbourg. However, the visitors are also only behind fourth-place Rennes by two points. Nice will need to better the results of one of the teams on the final day to ensure they are playing European football next season.
A three-game winning run in Ligue One ended last time out, as Nice suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Lille. It was the second consecutive game in which the visitors conceded two or more goals in the French top-flight.
One factor that has damaged Nice’s bid for a top-five finish this season in Ligue One has been their recent away form, as the visitors have won just one of their last seven league matches on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Nice will pick up a victory in a low-scoring encounter. Only time will tell if the win is enough to see them play European football next season.
