Reims vs Lyon: Our top betting tips

Reims are winless so far this season. Can they beat an as yet undefeated Lyon side to change that? Find out with our Reims vs Lyon match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

Reims to grab a point

If you focus your attention on what has happened so far this season then the likelihood is that you'll come away thinking Lyon will breeze through this game given they've won all of the league matches whilst Reims have lost two and drawn one. We see this game differently though and think Reims will take a hard fought point. The key reasons for that are simple. Firstly, Lyon are yet to play away from home this season and at the back end of last season they only managed to win two of their last seven games on the road. Secondly, Lyon haven't won at Reims since 2015; they've faced each other in that fixture five times since then and have notably drawn each of the last three.

Going under 2.5 goals

We've just mentioned the recent head to head record where Reims have been the home side and that's a sensible place to start this under 2.5 goals tip with each of the last four meetings of that nature failing to go over that cut off. Recent form is less convincing of an under 2.5 tip, however, Reims went south of 2.5 in their last match and given they're probably going to try and frustrate Lyon here we see it as the value bet here too.

A clash between sides with considerably contrasting form

There is one thing that simply cannot be ignored as we head into this game. Reims are winless so far this season whilst Lyon are unbeaten. That's not a great look for Reims who are going to need a massive performance if they're to change those facts in this game. Can they produce a performance to remember?

Reims got off the mark in their Ligue 1 campaign last week with an away point at Strasbourg but they've got another challenge on their hands here against Lyon; it's not made easier due to injury either. With five players currently ruled out or, at best, doubtful it will need an almighty effort from the hosts. Rafik Guitane, in particular, is a promising name that will be absent.

Reims Predicted lineup – Pentz, Gravillon, Faes, Abdelhamid, Busi, Lopy, Munetsi, Locko, Ito, Doumbia, Balogun

Lyon might arrive into this match as pretty heavy favourites but, like their hosts, they don't have an entire squad to choose from, which might give Reims half a chance of grabbing a result. Jerome Boateng and Sinaly Diomande are both unlikely to feature whilst Anthony Lopez, their first choice goalkeeper, saw red a couple of weeks back and is still serving his ban.

Lyon Predicted lineup – Riou, Gusto, Mendes, Lukeba, Tagliafico, Lepenant, Tolisso, Paqueta, Tete, Lacazette, Ekambi
