Our Best and Free Nantes vs Reims Ligue 1 Predictions
Contents
Apart from two losses in the last ten games, Nantes has done commendably well in the current season. They will now attempt to overturn a 3-1 defeat against Reims in the reverse Ligue 1 match. The best two predictions by Football Whispers for this game are as follows:
Nantes
Nantes to score first @ 18/25 (1.72)
Even though Reims defeated Nantes 3-1 in the first Ligue 1 meeting this season, that could be a difficult outcome to achieve in this second meeting. The visitors failed to record a win in their last three Ligue 1 trips. They have leaked 16 and scored 11 in 12 away games. On the other hand, Nantes boasts the eight-best home record after scooping 6W, 2D and 3L. The hosts netted 18 and leaked 12 at home so far. A better goal coring ratio is why we think Nantes should score first in this match.
Under 2.5 @ 61/100 (1.61)
We expect a tough match that will likely have fewer than three goals. While Reims should worry about their away form, winning the reverse game should be motivating enough to fight for a point in this trip to Nantes. And despite the last three meetings yielding goals on both sides, we think Reims will come here to defend because winning against Nantes currently is not easy.

Nantes vs Reims Game Preview, Team News and Lineups
Nantes comes to this game with a 1-0 loss against Strasbourg in the last Ligue 1 match. The narrow loss came late in the game at the 74th minute. It is a game that saw Nantes midfielder Samuel Moutoussamy hauled off with an injury in the 66th minute. The hosts managed 2 shots on target with an average ball possession of 49% in that game. The fact that Nantes leaked only one goal from two shots prove they can do better defensively in this game. The hosts have been quite impressive at home but should struggle against Reims, a team to which they have lost four times in the last five meetings. A low scoreline is a plausible outcome in this match.
A missed penalty in the last game could have easily made it 6-1 victory for Reims against Bordeaux. And when Bordeaux went down to 10 men twelve minutes after the hour, Reims were sure to hold onto their big lead. They added only one goal after the red card. Moreover, Reims denied Bordeaux a shot on target, which proves their defensive prowess even in this trip to Nantes. With that, we don’t expect many goals in this match.
The hosts will likely miss Traore, Castelletto and Coulibaly. But compared to Reims, Nantes do not have a lot of missing players to keep them worried ahead of this crucial match.
Reims suffered double injuries in the last game and so, the visitors will likely play without Munetsi and Bergen. Other Reims players who will miss this game are Zeneli, Traore, Cajuste, Gravillon, Doumbia, Cassama, Foket and Berisha. It is a long list of injuries will likely influence the performance of Reims in this game.
Next, here is how these teams will likely lineup for this Ligue 1 match.
Nantes predicted lineup: Lafont, Gorotto, Pallois, Appiah, Fabio, Chirivella, Cyprien, Merlin, Blas, Simon and Muani.
Reims predicted lineup: Rajkovic, Faes, Abdelhamid, Munetsi, Busi, Matusiwa, Lopy, Konan, Bergen, Ekitike, and Mbuku.
