Will the guests be able to start the season in the national championship on August 17 as well? - you will find the answer in the betting tip. What is the best bet?
Command Analysis
Reims
FranceCurrent form
Reims finished last season in ninth place, just four points short of a place in the European Cups. They were one of only two teams in the top 10 that conceded more goals than they scored.
On July 1, Luka Elsner was appointed head coach for a two-year term. Under his leadership, the "red and whites" played eight friendly matches, winning four times, drawing twice and losing twice. There were no serious opponents, so it is difficult to say how the hosts of the upcoming match will be able to start the new French championship.
Injuries and disqualifications
Central midfielder Martin Adeline will miss the match due to a bruised thigh
Interesting trends for betting
Reims have scored at home in six games in a row
In the last six matches, Reims have only managed to keep a clean sheet in one encounter.
Estimated composition
Diouf - Koudou, Kipre, Okumou, Akieme - Munetsi, Teuma - Nakamura, Khadra, Ito - Diakite
Lille
FranceCurrent form
Having drawn the last round of last season with Nice (2:2), Lille deprived itself of the bronze medals of Ligue 1 and direct entry into the main draw of the Champions League. It is also a shame that the team was leading until the 92nd minute and if they had not conceded in added time, they would have been in third place, but as it was, they had to settle for fourth place.
On July 1st, the team was headed by Bruno Genesio, who had a great start to his coaching history at the club, as he managed to knock out Fenerbahce in the qualifying round of the Champions League. The visitors also performed well in the off-season. Of the six friendlies they played, they lost only once. In short, the team is fully armed for the start of Ligue 1.
Injuries and disqualifications
Nabil Bentaleb and Samuel Umtiti to miss match due to injuries
Interesting trends for betting
Lille have conceded in nine of their last ten away games
Lille have failed to score in regulation time only twice in their last 12 matches
Estimated composition
Chevalier - Santos, Diakite, Gudmundsson, Alexandro - Mukau, Gomez, Andre - Cabella - Zhegrova, David

Lille are clearly inspired by the fact that they managed to get past the formidable Fenerbahce in the qualification of the main European Cup tournament. We believe that on this joy the "dogs" will dominate in the away match with Reims and will be able to win an away victory in the very first round of Ligue 1.
Our prediction is a Lille victory with odds of 2.17
Bet on total
Over the last four head-to-head matches, the rivals have alternated games in which two opponents and only one club managed to score. Based on these statistics, two teams will be able to score in the upcoming confrontation.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.74
Bet on corners
In the last two head-to-head games, the opponents have taken no more than eight corners between them. We think it's time for this low total to end, so we'll bet on there being quite a few corners taken.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.70
