The action keeps coming in Ligue 1, as Stade Reims takes the center stage while hosting Nantes. In their last three games, Stade Reims hasn't been beaten, but they haven't really pulled up trees, having two draws out of the last three, and similarly, Nantes has not managed a victory in their last five games. With key players like Keito Nakamura and Mostafa Mohammed finding the net in recent games, this is a fixture that promises an intriguing battle. Let's dive into the team previews, head-to-head stats, and some top betting tips to guide your picks for this encounter.

Stade Reims now sits 12th in the Ligue 1 standings with 5 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses. The recent form has been quite mixed, although they come into this match with three unbeaten games. The last fixture that the team had was a 1-1 draw against PSG for a very valuable point. Keito Nakamura scored their only goal, while the club's midfield maestro Teddy Teuma suffered an injury that could see him sidelined.
With manager Luka Elsner in charge, there have been plenty of ups and downs for Reims, and they are reasonably sound at home. Even on low possession 22% against PSG-it's counter-attacks and then the defensive organisation that the team relies on quite a lot. They have given away just six goals in the last six outings. The recent signings, especially the arrival of midfielder John Patrick from Getafe for more than €1 million, illustrate that they are looking to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season.
Nantes
Nantes sit just two places below Reims in 14th position with a record of 3 wins, 9 draws, and 7 losses. Their recent form has been quite underwhelming with just one loss in the last five games; however, they have not managed to win during this stretch as well. In their most recent match, they finished 1-1 against Olympique Lyon, with Mostafa Mohammed finding the net.
So far, Coach Antoine Kombouaré has failed in his efforts of consistently performing from his squad and particularly away from home, Nantes have only managed one victory in their last five outings. Though inconsistent recently, Nantes are usually a solid defensive outfit, but continuous failure to translate chances into positive results has often left them short in recent times.
Head to Head
The historical comparison is for Stade Reims, with 7 wins to Nantes' 2 and 1 draw. Reims have not been beaten by Nantes in the last five matches, with the latter managing a good run at home.

Expert Betting Tips
Combo Bet - Reims to win or Draw & Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.77 Odds on 1xbet:-
Given the unbeaten run by Reims and Nantes' inability to win, a double chance for Reims with over 1.5 goals makes sense. Both teams have shown an ability to score, yet the inability to collect victories by Nantes suggests that Reims should avoid defeat here.
Total Cards - 0-3 Cards @ 2.19 Odds on Betway:-
Reims have had less than 4.5 cards in 9/10 of their recent games. This fixture has the potential to follow suit since both teams employ relatively disciplined tactics.
Total Corners - Under 10 Corners @ 1.72 Odds on Bet365:-
Teams in both camps have had a trend of averaging less corners recently with Reims going under 10.5 corners in 8 of the last 10 matches and Nantes similar in away games.
