Reims vs Angers Prediction
Under the management of Slovenian coach Luka Elsner, Stade de Reims did start the season quite well but the home team now come into this one on the back of a really poor few months as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just above the bottom three and the danger zone. They come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Olympique Lyonnais at Parc OL last weekend and that means they are winless in their last ten matches and have managed just one win in their last 14 games. They now face an Angers side that, following promotion to the top-flight last season, struggled at the start of this season but have now proven themselves to be very competitive. The visitors have collected just one point from their last three matches but they are expected to be difficult to beat and especially for a poor side in their own right so a low-scoring affair is to be expected.
Reims vs Angers Tip: Under 2.5 goals
