Reims v Red Star FC : Ligue 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 18th Apr, 13:00 BST, Stade Auguste-Delaune, Reims

Grégory Poirier guides his Red Star FC side to the Stade Auguste-Delaune in the Ligue 2 on Saturday afternoon, with Karel Geraerts's Reims their rivals. This preview has odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers for 17 different markets, alongside bespoke data that updates as you explore. Our predictions are based on 20-game form, so all stats are shown for each side's last 20 too. Home vs away and overall performance can be viewed, while there's also head-to-head history a little further down the page.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Karel Geraerts and Grégory Poirier to park the bus here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as Reims and Red Star go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.80 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Reims are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 46% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.83.
