Under 2.5 Goals
Even though Montpellier is high in the rankings when it comes to the number of ‘over' matches they played, in their last five games it happened only twice. It seems that their bad run of results started to affect the only part of the team that worked, their goal-scoring capabilities. Reims, on the other hand, is in the bottom three when it comes to covering ‘over' matches, they only had one in their past five games.
Draw
For 13 rounds, Montpellier was the only team in the league without a draw game, and that changed a week ago when they played a 1-1 match at Clermont. It was a welcomed draw after losing five games in a row. Reims, however, have proficiency for draw games, they had four of them in their past six matches. Also, when it comes to their h2h record, the last three games ended in a draw, two of them without a single goal scored.

Can Montpellier save itself?
Many are still bewildered by how Montpellier's season has drastically changed for the worse in the last couple of months, and the team will look forward to the extended break because of the World Cup. The last win they achieved was almost two months ago against Strasbourg, and fans are getting extremely anxious about what the future holds. Montpellier is still out of the relegation zone, but only thanks to the bottom-placed teams who are playing equally badly. However, that difference is getting smaller with each game Montpellier doesn't get wins or at least a point. Montpellier's home record is nothing to be thrilled about, they lost three out of their seven matches, and they have a negative goal difference of 10-12.
Montpellier's probable lineup: Kamara, Sacko, Cozza, Jullien, Esteve, Maouassa, Fayad, Savanier, Ferri, Khazri, Wahi.
Reims is one of the worst opponents Montpellier can face right now. They keep drawing games, accumulating one point at a time. They are undefeated in their last six matches out of which four of them were draws, and three ended without any goals. Reims keeps frustrating their opponent's forwards, they even managed to get away with a goalless draw against the mighty PSG. Their goal for the season is obvious, they need to stay in Ligue 1 no matter what, and their match tactics prove that desire, and show a willingness to play dull matches just to get some points.
Reims' probable lineup: Diouf, De Smet, Abdelhamid, Agbadou, Munetsi, Cajuste, Matusiwa, Zeneli, Doumbia, Ito, Balogun.
Team News:
Montpellier: Enzo Tchato and Jonas Omlin are injured, while Joris Chotard is suspended.
Reims: Andrew Gravillon, Maxime Busi, and Thomas Foket are missing with injuries, and Alexis Flips is suspended.
