Nice vs Reims Preview and Team News

Nice Team News

Nice produced the unthinkable in the last round, shattering Paris Saint-Germain’s dreams of going unbeaten in the Ligue 1 campaign. Franck Haise’s men beat their opponents 1-3 on the road. Goalkeeper Marcin Bułka delivered what looked like one of the best performances of his career. 

Thanks to the victory, Nice entered the top six zone. Currently, they’re three points behind Monaco. While the competition is huge in a race for the Champions League, the hosts will try their utmost.

Nice’s only notable absentee ahead of Friday will be Brazilian centre back Dante. Tanguy Ndombele is also sidelined. The former Tottenham midfielder has not played since February. 

Nice predicted lineup vs Reims

Nice predicted lineup vs Reims: (3-4-2-1): Bulka; Bard, Ndayishimiye, Mendy; Abdi, Rosario, Boudaoui, Clauss; Sanson, Bouanani; Laborde.

Reims Team News

Reims faced already-relegated Montpellier in the last round, producing a goalless draw in a lacklustre display. Samba Diawara’s side had a two-match winning streak prior, but failed to beat their opponents.

While the visitors are almost guaranteed to remain in the top-flight this season, given the form of other teams, many aspects need improvement. They now sit 13th with 33 points, and with three rounds to go, they can secure a spot in Ligue 1 even without a victory.

Junya Ito was substituted in the first half and may not be available for this clash. Yaya-Kader Fofana, Mohamed Daramy, and Reda Khadra will also not participate in the fixture. 

Reims predicted lineup vs Nice

Reims predicted lineup vs Nice: (5-4-1): Diouf; Akieme, Kipre, Okumu, Gbane, Buta; Nakamura, Kone, Edoa, Diakhon; Siebatcheu.

Nice vs Reims Prediction 

• Pick: Nice to Win
• Odds: 1.45 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Nice 2-0 Reims

Nice’s triumph over PSG will surely boost their morale. At the same time, they still have some chances to qualify for the Champions League. Against poor-performing Reims, they should go for a win.

If we take a look at the previous 11 H2H meetings, Nice won four and drew seven. They’re known for their attacking football, and while Reims are a tough club, they’ll have the initiative in this matchup.

We anticipate a physical game, but eventually, the home squad should come out on top. Our first pick here would be Nice to win. 

Nice vs Reims Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 2.32 (22Bet)

One of the surprising stats we can pick from H2H games is that in the last six out of nine meetings, we saw a 0-0 final score. In general, Reims have problems in the defence, but they know how to stand collectively against stronger opponents.

The hosts, on the other hand, have a strong attack, but it could be tricky for them to sweep their opponents. Reims will focus on counterattacks and try their best to limit free space for Nice’s forwards.

We expect a low-scoring affair, with the home side dominating, creating a handful of dangerous opportunities. Thus, we suggest picking under 2.5 goals in the following clash.
