Reims vs Angers: Angers can’t succeed on the road

Reims will take on Angers in round 17 of the French Ligue 1. Who’ll come out stronger in this encounter? Let’s see how the opponents are doing and what’s best to bet on.

Reims form

Reims can hardly consider the current season particularly successful – the team is only 14th place in the table with 19 points. However, due to the high density, they can already climb into the top ten today. Reims' unbeaten streak currently stands at four games – two draws with Monaco (0-0) and Strasbourg (1-1) and two wins over Clermont (1-0) and Lyon (2-1)!

Angers form

Angers, in general, show similar results, as they sit in 10th place with 22 points. The best case scenario, which of course is unlikely, will allow the club from Angers to rise to sixth as early as today! After three matches without a loss (a win and two draws), Angers lost 1-3 to Monaco.

Expert Betting Tips

It’s an encounter of almost equals, but we give preference to Reims. The fact is that they defeated Lyon in the last round, while their opponent lost to Monaco - the hosts are clearly better off. In addition, Angers doesn’t tend to perform well away – only one victory in eight matches this season. To be on the safe side, we suggest betting on the victory of Reims with a zero handicap.
