Reims vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting tips
Stade Reims wants to reach the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue. The Red and Whites will face Montpellier in the round of 16 of the League Cup during the week and clearly build on their own strength at home. After the strong start to the season in Ligue 1, where Montpellier was also defeated, Stade Reims wants to keep the form in the cup competition.
According to odds, Reims is slightly favored against bookmakers against Montpellier. A tip for it seems to be very obvious in the catastrophic away form of Montpellier. Already on the tenth matchday, Montpellier lost to the red-whites from Reims. Will the déjà-vu follow in the Stade Auguste-Delaune?
In France, the last two competitive matches will be played this calendar year. Stade Reims will have home rights in the Cup and Ligue 1. In the current constitution, the red and whites in both home games can certainly be considered chances of victory. Especially in the league cup we would recommend a prediction for the home team at Reims against Montpellier.
Reims:
As everyone knows, the first season in the top division is particularly difficult. However, Stade Reims achieved a promising result with eighth place in the table last season and even rewarded on the last matchday with a home win over the champion PSG.
In the run-up to the 2018/19 season, such a season end would hardly have been predicted by the newcomer from Reims. Under the head coach David Guion, the upward trend of the red-whites continues this season. In Ligue 1, Reims has played a very strong first half and is currently in sixth place in the table.
A decisive factor this season is undoubtedly the defense bulwark of the red and whites. Reims and league leaders PSG put together the strongest defense in Ligue 1. The Guion team conceded only nine goals in their first 17 league games. The defensive strength of the sixth in the table was already felt by the elite clubs of Ligue 1.
Reims did not concede a single goal in top games against teams such as PSG, Lille and Marseille. The red and whites were also in excellent shape in front of their home backdrop. In nine home games there was a strong record of 3-5-1, in which only four goals were conceded. Among other things, Montpellier has already been defeated.
Reims has been unbeaten for five competitive games and the match between Reims vs. Montpellier has a lot to predict that the series will continue. Some players are currently on the injured list. It is not yet clear who will be able to play in the cup game. At least on the defensive, Coach Guion will be able to draw on unlimited resources.
Montpellier:
Michel The Zakarian has no easy task at HSC Montpellier. The trainer from “La Paillade” has been trying to get the team back to the top of Ligue 1 for two years now.
Although the team has improved significantly since the coach’s arrival, Montpellier has missed an international right to start in the last two seasons.
Montpellier has played a mixed season so far this season and is currently in twelfth place in the table. The record of 6-6-6 was not really nice to talk about. Most recently, the team of Der Zakarian in Ligue 1 was without a win three times in a row. In the last two competitive matches there were defeats against PSG and Lille.
So far there has been little to cheer for Montpellier in away games this season. The team of The Zakarian has so far been without victory in the nine away games and has only been able to keep the clean sheet once abroad. Montpellier will have to overcome the weakness away from home next year.
After the cup game against Reims, Montpellier’s last game of the first half against Stade Brest will take place this weekend. At least in Ligue 1, “La Paillade” will benefit from the home advantage.
In the final round of the league cup, Montpellier won 3-2 in a duel against Nancy. An offensive spectacle will not be expected against the strong defense bulwark of Reims.
With Kaiboue, Cozza and Ferri, three players will have to pause due to injury. Big changes are not expected on Tuesday.
