Reims vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

These two teams lock horns for the second time in just a few days, and it feels like home advantage could prove crucial in this contest. Montpellier are clearly not the best of travellers, failing to claim maximum points from any of their most recent six trips, whilst Reims have enjoyed five wins in seven top-flight fixtures on their own patch of late.

Goalless draws have rarely been on the agenda when Reims have taken to the pitch in Ligue 1, with just one of their previous 22 matches ending without the deadlock being broken. It has been a similar story as far as Montpellier are concerned, as they have now been involved in 24 consecutive league games in which the net has bulged at least once.

Montpellier have proven incredibly exciting to watch recently, with 22 of their last 22 games in the Ligue 1 producing goals at both ends of the pitch, including in a draw at home. Speaking of the club that counts both coaches amongst its former managers, they have been involved in six consecutive top-flight fixtures of this type.
