Strasbourg vs Reims Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st August 2022

Round three of the new Ligue 1 campaign will see last season’s top six finishers Strasbourg take on Reims at Stade de la Meinau on Sunday. Neither Strasbourg nor Reims managed a breakthrough, when they last faced each other. They ended up settling for a point in a 1-1 draw, and the best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 3.50.

They are not exactly up to a dream opening on the new season as Strasbourg have had to settle for a single point so far in the Ligue 1. Reims are still without a single point on the board following the first couple of matches in the Ligue 1. They will be very eager to get off the mark in this round three.

Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Strasbourg and Reims are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at Stade de la Meinau.

Strasbourg go into their next Ligue 1 match, averaging a humble 1.1 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a mundane 11 times, while conceding 14 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.4 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Reims managed a bearable 14 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.4 goals per game. They conceded 20 goals in total, and while claiming one clean sheet, they conceded two goals an average per game.

Strasbourg vs Reims Prediction

Strasbourg only added a single point to their account in their last three games, where they lost 4-0 and 1-2 against Marseille and Monaco respectively. At least they managed a 1-1 draw with Nice. In their last six Ligue 1 home matches, Strasbourg have three wins, while they've drawn two and lost one. They scored nine and conceded seven goals.

Strasbourg go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in a European competition.

Reims endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-3 by Nice, before Marseille ran out 4-1 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Clermont Foot, who came out 2-4 winners. In their last six Ligue 1 away matches, Reims have three wins, they've drawn one and lost one two. They scored six while also conceding seven times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

A top half finish is the dream for Reims, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the Ligue 1.

Both Strasbourg and visitors Reims seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
