Stade Reims vs OGC Nice - 05/02/2020
3162
On Wednesday evening, two teams just outside the European spots in Ligue One, Reims and Nice go head-to-head at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II.
The two teams are locked together on 32 points, just two points adrift of Lille, who occupy the final European berth in the French top-flight. Reims are ahead courtesy of a superior goal difference of four goals.
Reims are enjoying a solid campaign so far in Ligue One. However, the home sides form has slipped slightly of late, as they have won just one of their last five Ligue One games. That win was in their last outing, though, a 4-1 win at Angers. The result ended a run of high scoring games for Reims, as the previous five matches had all produced under 2.5 goals.
David Guion’s team have not been in great form on home soil, as they have won just two of their last nine home games in the French top-flight.
Their recent league outings at the Stade Auguste-Delaune ll have been low scoring too, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 11 matches.
Nice are six league games unbeaten heading into this potential significant clash in the French top-flight. Last time out, Patrick Vieira’s team recorded a 2-1 home win over Lyon.
The visitors have been prolific in Ligue One this season. In fact, only leaders PSG and Lyon and Monaco have scored more goals than the visitors in the French top-flight this season.
One negative for the visitors is their recent away results, as they have failed to win in eight Ligue One matches on their travels, suffering six defeats in the process. However, there have been signs of improvement of late, as Vieira’s team has drawn their last two away matches in the league.
There is so little between these two sides. Therefore, it is of late surprise that Forebet predicts that this clash will end in a goalless draw.
