Clermont Foot vs Reims Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 30th April 2023

Both Clermont Foot and Reims will look to consolidate or perhaps even improve on their position in the tournament standings. The pair go toe-to-toe in a mid-table Ligue 1 clash at Stade Gabriel Montpied.

Only separated by a narrow margin, a win for Clermont Foot at their Ligue 1 clash will see them swap positions with Reims.

Clermont Foot scored 11 goals, conceded 14 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Reims scored 14 goals, conceded eight and managed six clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 2-4 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Sunday.

Clermont Foot vs Reims Prediction

Clermont Foot Form

Clermont Foot swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 0-2 against Troyes. They went on to defeat Angers 2-1 and made it three on the spin against Nice in a 1-2 victory. Clermont Foot claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Ligue 1. They also drew one and lost three, scored five goals and conceded 11.

Reims Form

A draw is all that prevents Reims from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed a point in a 1-1 draw against Brest before getting trounced against Rennes by a 3-0 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Strasbourg ran out 0-2 winners. Reims won twice, while also recording three draws, and one defeat in their last six away matches in the Ligue 1. The scoreline from these matches says four goals conceded and five scored.

Form is not impressive for Reims, but we don't quite trust Clermont Foot enough to jump at the home win without backing it with a draw. Those finding the price with the bookmakers a bit too low, might choose the draw-no-bet solution in stead.

Clermont Foot have taken 17 points from their last 15 games against teams from the top half of the Ligue 1 table. They won five of these matches with a scoreline of 12 goals to 25. Reims won two of their last 14 matches against teams from the top half of the Ligue 1 table, scoring 12 and conceding 21 goals. They collected 13 points from these. Clermont Foot are looking at a record of 13 wins, seven draws and 12 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Reims show off 11 wins, 14 draws and seven defeats in the Ligue 1.
