Montpellier vs Reims Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Montpellier v Reims
France Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, October 25, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade de la Mosson.

Reims go into this game with the real threat of relegation, which seems incredible given that it's only October, but we've seen it in previous seasons, when a club starts as badly as Reims and fails to break into good form.

Reims are currently ranked 19th and have lost 5 games and drawn two without a win. They are already 5 points clear of safety and last weekend they lost 3-1 at home to newly promoted Lorient.

Reims have 1 point from their last 15 games and this match looks very difficult for them, although Montpellier is not in the best form.

Montpellier sit eighth on 11 points and have started the season in good form, but their current form has seen the club go three games without a win. Last weekend they lost two more points in their draw with Monaco and also recently drew with last Dijon.

Something is missing from their usual pace, the question is: will they be able to find it again when they face Reims at home?

Montpellier vs Reims head to head

• There is a 50% chance based on recent games to see over 3,5 goals.

Montpellier vs Reims: Prediction

Montpellier will be favorites to win this game and they easily have a better team than Reims. But Reims have always improved their game by playing with good teams and we believe the club can make a good change here.

Montpellier's recent form has been worrying, and perhaps the value here is backing Reims but with a handicap so if the game ends in a draw we'll still be covered and win.

Of course we also have to remember that Reims have a good recent record over Montpellier and the club have had two additional training rounds ahead of this game, so let's back Reims to get something for us at the weekend.

Montpellier v Reims betting tips:
