In the 17th round of Ligue 1, Reims will test Nice on their home field at the Auguste Delon stadium on January 11. The hosts have not been able to win for four games in a row. Will they be lucky enough to break such an incomprehensible statistic? You will find the answer in our betting tip. What is the best choice for a bet?
Match announcement
Reims
Current form
Reims burned out very quickly. The team's peak was in September and early October, when in five rounds played the team won four times and drew one match. Since then, the team has demonstrated average results, and a winless streak of the last five matches in a row (three draws and two defeats) led to the club ending up outside the top 10 (11th place). Even on their home field, they have not been able to please their opponents properly: two defeats and two draws in four previous matches. The upcoming opponent is now in good shape, so it will not be an easy task to break the series of unsuccessful performances.
Disqualifications and injuries
Khadra, Darami, Ab.Kone, Fofana and Moscardo are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Reims have failed to even score in three of their last five matches
- The hosts have not won four matches in a row at home
Tentative line-up: Diouf - Buta, Okumu, De Smet, Akyeme - Atangana, Theuma, Manetzi - Ito, Diakite, Nakamura.
Nice
Current form
After an unsuccessful start at the beginning of the season, Nice seemed to have picked up steam and currently climbed to sixth place in the standings, having 27 points in their bank. In four of the last five rounds, the eaglets were able to take points (three wins and one draw). Only one fiasco occurred in the confrontation with Lyon (1:4).
In 2025, the guests have already managed to please their fans. On January 3, there was a real fight with Rennes, and in that match, Franck Hes's charges were able to squeeze out the opponent and win with a hockey score of 3:2. The club can fully concentrate on the national championship, because it is unlikely to be able to reach the playoffs in the Europa League. There are only two rounds left to play, and Nice has only two points in six previous matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sanson, Moffie, Boga, Orakpo and Abdi are injured, while Rosario will not take part in the match due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nice have not lost in three matches in a row
- The visitors have scored in 12 previous matches
Estimated cast: Bulka - Kloss, Dante, Ndayshimie, Bard - Boudaoui, Bouanani, Diop - Shaw, Guessand, Laborde.

2.46Tip and bets
As a rule, opponents in head-to-head encounters do not impress with their attacking actions. This is confirmed by the fact that in eight out of ten previous head-to-head encounters more than two goals were not scored.
Reims are not in the best form at the moment, as in the last three games in front of local fans the team managed to score only once. Considering all these arguments, we come to the conclusion that this time too there will not be many goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.07
Bet on the outcome
The rivals play very evenly among themselves. In seven of the last eight head-to-head matches, the winner could not be determined. At the moment, the hosts need points like air to get out of the bottom of the ranking, and the guests need them to fight for getting into the top 5. This means that we will place another bet on the fact that the winner will not be determined again.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.46
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, we will place another bet on the fact that the opponents will avoid corner kicks in order not to aggravate the situation at their goal. This means that there won't be many corner kicks.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.69
