Reims - Saint-Etienne: betting tip for the French Championship match

Current form

Reims, like many clubs in Ligue 1, walks on a knife's edge. At the moment, the team is in a safe zone, but the gap from the joints is only two points, and the upcoming opponent, who is located in the relegation zone, is ahead of Samba Diawara by six points. There are two rounds left until the end of the season, and the hosts clearly need to play better than in the previous two rounds, where there were no goals scored and only one point scored. The upcoming opponent is well positioned for this, because he is lower and does not play better.

Disqualifications and injuries

Khadra, Darami, and Fofana are injured and will not be playing. 

Interesting betting trends

• Reims has alternated wins and losses in the last four matches at home.
• In three of the last four games, the hosts did not even concede

Approximate line–up: Diouf – Buta, Cyprus, Okumu, Gbane, Akieme - Diahon, Am.Kone, Atangana, Nakamura – Sibacho.

Current form

Saint-Etienne is not to be envied at the moment. Two defeats in the last two rounds with the same score 1:3 from Strasbourg and Monaco put the team on the verge of relegation to the lower league. Currently, Eirik Horneland's team is in the penultimate place in the standings, lagging at least four points behind the play-off zone. In the upcoming match, only victory is needed. In any other scenario, in a certain situation, it will be possible not to catch up with Le Havre, which is located one line higher. Only triumphs in the last two matches can save the club from another relegation to Ligue 2, but this season Saint-Etienne has not won two matches in a row.

Disqualifications and injuries

Boakye will not be on the field due to injury. 

Interesting betting trends

• Saint-Etienne has lost the last two matches.
• In the last four games, the visitors scored and conceded

Approximate composition:  Larsonnier – Appiah, Bernauer, Nadet, Petro–Muffek, Equa, Tardieu– Cardona, Vaji, Davitashvili.
