Reims vs Lorient Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Reims v Lorient
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2024
Starts at 16pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade Auguste Delaune.

It may be too early in the season, but Reims are in trouble and will have to string together a string of winning games if they are to be safe this season.

After six games, the club still hasn't won and comes into this home game in 19th place: out of 18 points, they have only won two. At home, the last game was against PSG, where they lost 2-0.

What's interesting is how poor the club have been overall and yet come so close to beating league leaders Rennes away from home. The game ended 2-2, but perhaps it is a sign that Reims have found their way again and will fight for points in this game.

Lorient started well by winning their opening game, but the club has been in decline since then. They dropped to 17th place and lost 4 of their six games played.

Their last game before the international break ended in a 3-1 defeat away to Metz and it seems clear that the club could be in trouble this season. He has already conceded 13 goals and only Angers has sent more, with 14.

Other clubs will look at their defense and think they can score against them.

Reims vs Lorient: Prediction

Reims played some good football against Rennes and the idea is that the international break will be seen as a clean sweep for the club to restart the season and add some points to the table.

Reims' problem has been the slow construction of football that needs to be approved, and we believe that in an open game they can win this game. Home games will be essential for the club's survival.

We will also bet over 2,5 goals, although history says otherwise, this is because Lorient has a very weak defense, but is also scoring goals. We hope to see a fun game over the weekend.
