Over 2.5 Goals
This Nice vs Reims prediction is all about goals. A couple of months ago it would be strange to look at one of Nice's matches as a potential goalscoring bonanza, but at the moment there is a whole different perspective. Since the club fired coach Lucien Favre and replaced him with Didier Digard as a caretaker boss, the team has been transformed. From a team that barely scores any goals to a squad that gets after it every single game. In their last two outings alone they have scored a total of six goals, and with their current winning streak at four matches, their goal difference in that span of games is at 8-1. Reims is doing the work as well scoring four goals in two out of their last three league matches. For the season, Nice is still at the bottom of the league when it comes to over 2.5 goals matches, but as their form is rising, so does their goalscoring ability. Reims goes the same way. It's quite incredible to see, four out of their past h2h matches ended in a goalless draw, and the one game that didn't have a 3-2 scoreline for Nice.
Nice to Win
Predicting a win for the home team is reasonable enough considering their run of form which saw them scoring goals in their last four games and allowing only one. They are now in a different mindset, and the run of positive results they had, moved them to the seventh spot in Ligue 1 ranking with only four points away from one of the places that would take them to one of Europe's competitions. As far as their home record is concerned, they have five wins, three draws, and losses. However, four of the five wins were earned in the span of their last five matches. Reims, on the other side of things, has two wins and losses, but also eight draws, by far the most in the league from all the teams involved.

The bookmakers have made their predictions known about the tie in question:

Nice looks like a favorite when looking at the Nice vs Reims odds section, but not by much. It seems that the bookies are having second thoughts, and considering that fact, bettors could look at alternatives for their betting efforts: if we look at the Minute Market, an early goal scored between minutes 1-15 is valued at 3/1 (3.00) – 33.3%, while going for a Nice Clean Sheet considering their run of form, it would give you odds 8/5 (2.60) – 38.5%.
Team News, Preview, and Nice vs Reims Lineups
Nice
Looking at the way they started the season, there is a lot of regret going on in the team's locker room. However, they managed to turn the season around and now are in a fight for a top-five finish. Nice has three players out injured: Nicolas Pepe, Youcef Atal, and Marcin Bulka.
Provisional lineup: Schmeichel, Lotomba, Dante, Todibo, Mendy, Thuram, Boudaoui, Ramsey, Bouanani, Moffi, Laborde.
Reims
Will Still is the youngest coach in Ligue 1 at 30 years of age and the only one without a proper license to coach. Because of that fact, the club needs to pay a fine for every match that he is on the sidelines. But, it seems that it is a worthwhile investment for the club who are having a fun season. Mitchell Van Bergen and Noah Jean Holm are currently injured.
Provisional lineup: Diouf, De Smet, Abdelhamid, Agbadou, Foket, Matusiwa, Munetsi, Flips, Maolida, Ito, Balogun.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Nice
Reims
Player to Watch: Folarin Balogun
There is not a single person who could foresee that the young English striker Folarin Balogun, who is on loan at Reims from Arsenal, would be such an incredible success in Ligue 1. He is the league's top scorer with 15 goals, and Reims already tried to make his move from the Premier League leaders a permanent one, but Arsenal doesn't want to hear about it. Balogun will be the main threat to Nice's defense.
