Reims vs Valencie​nnes betting tips 

Reims are a team from Ligue 1, where they are 14th on the table with 28 points from 24 played matches. Reims have seven wins, seven draws, and ten losses with a 30:32 goal difference. At home, they have a 4-3-4 record and 10:11 goal difference. 

Last weekend, Reims lost 1-0 on the road against Lorient. That game was fairly even, but the home side secured a win with Laurent Abergel's goal in the 53rd minute. 

Reims are a low scoring team in recent weeks. They scored only three goals in the last five matches. On the other side, Reims allowed only four goals in the previous four games. As a result, they went under 2.5 goals in the last four played matches. 

Valenciennes are a team in Ligue 2. They are 7th on the table with 35 points from 24 played matches. Valenciennes have a 9-8-7 record and 32:27 goal difference. On the road, they have 4-5-3 and 19:16. 

Last Friday, Valenciennes at home lost 1-0 against Grenoble. That was the first loss for the team from northern France after five league matches. The game's deciding moment happened in the 74th minute when Valenciennes' Emmanuel Ntim scored an own goal. 

Valenciennes scored only four goals in the last four matches. Also, they allowed two goals in the previous games. Valenciennes went under 2.5 goals in all four of those matches. 

Both these teams are scoring a low number of goals in recent weeks, so under 2.5 goals are a logical bet. My correct score prediction is a 1-0 win for the home side.
