LiontipsAuxerre vs Reims. Prediction (odds 2.47) and bets on the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Auxerre, who returned to Ligue 1 this season, have been showing inconsistent results in the first rounds. The team can compete with a club from the top of the standings, and then fly away from an outsider. They are terrible at playing away, but the team will play the upcoming match at home, and here they have won four of their last five matches.
Over the next month, Christophe Pélissier protégés will be playing teams that are at the top of the league table, and they are only two points above the relegation zone. They definitely need to improve in terms of play.
Disqualifications and injuries
Coulibaly and Jolley are injured, while Owusu will miss the match due to suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
Auxerre have won four of their last five home matches
The hosts have lost four of the last five meetings.
Probable line-up: Leon - Hoever, Diomande, Jubal, Osho, Mensah - Danois, Raveloson - Traore - Beir, Sinayoko.
Current form
Reims impresses with their game. After the defeat in the first round against Lille (0:2), Luka Elsner charges have not lost again. Moreover, they managed to take points from such powerful teams as Marseille (2:2) and PSG (1:1), who are in third and second place respectively.
The team is currently in fifth place in the league table, but is inferior to the fourth and third places in the ranking only by additional indicators. The advantage for the team is that it does not need to be torn apart by two fronts, because it does not participate in European cups this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Khadra, Moscardo and Kone are injured, while Fofana and Diakite will miss the match due to suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
Reims have not lost in six matches in a row
The visitors have failed to score in only one of their last nine matches
Probable line-up: Diouf - Buta, Agbadou, Kipre, Akiem - Atangana, Manetzi - Ito, Theuma, Nakamura - Salama.

1.78Tip and bets
With all due respect to Auxerre, Reims are playing much better at the moment. The Red and Whites also have a significant advantage, as they have not lost to the Burgundians for eight matches in a row, and have managed to win in six of those matches. It is impossible to ignore the fact that Auxerre has never beaten its upcoming opponent in front of local fans. All this suggests that bookmakers underestimate the visitors, giving such a high coefficient for their victory. We will take advantage of this.
Our prediction is Reims' victory with odds of 2.47
Bet on total
Over the past two years, the teams have played each other four times, and in three games the opponents have scored at least three goals between them. Auxerre plays effectively on their home field. In five previous meetings, the total was more than 2.5 goals. Considering this fact, as well as the fact that Reims also does not sit in its penalty area, we will bet that it will not be difficult for the teams to score three times between them.
Our forecast is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on corners
In the last two official head-to-head meetings, the teams took at least nine corners between them. We believe that this trend will not be interrupted, and there will again be quite a few corners taken from the corner flag.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.78
