Nantes vs Reims Prediction and Betting Tips | September 15 2024

Nantes face off with Reims in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade de la Beaujoire this Sunday. Nantes have thus far been the surprise package of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season, as they sit up in third after three games.

Reims, meanwhile, are currently in 10th place with a solid four points.

So can Nantes keep their hot run going here, or will Reims bring them back down to earth with a bump?

Nantes vs Reims Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The last time these sides met, the game ended 0-0. In recent times, though, Reims have tended to get the better of Nantes. They've beaten them in four of their last six meetings dating back to 2021, including two wins at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
• Nantes are currently one of five unbeaten sides in the current Ligue 1 campaign, having drawn one and won two of their opening three games.
• Perhaps more impressively, Nantes have only conceded once in those three games. This is a marked contrast to the 2023-24 season, which saw them concede 55, more than any other side who didn't suffer relegation.
• Reims have thus far picked up four points from a possible nine, but their lone win came in the final game before the recent international break. Luka Elsner's side were impressive in a 2-1 win against a tough Rennes side, coming from behind to secure victory.
• After scoring a disappointing three goals last season, Nantes striker Moses Simon is already just one goal off that mark this season, having scored two in his last two matches.

Nantes vs Reims Prediction

With both of these sides coming off strong wins before the international break, this is quite a tricky game to pick.

Despite Reims having a strong record in recent years against Nantes, though, it feels like this match is set up for the home side to come out on top.

Their form has been slightly better than that of their visitors this weekend, and more importantly, they look extremely solid in defense at the minute, a major boon for them.

With that in mind, we expect a low-scoring affair that should see Nantes edge things.

Prediction: Nantes 1-0 Reims
