Reims Preview – Can the Red and Whites finish with a home win?
Reims will better last season’s 14th-place finish no matter what happens on the final day. The Red and Whites have won 19 times, suffered 11 defeats, and drawn seven of their 37 league matches.
Oscar Garcia’s troops have been inconsistent in recent weeks, claiming three wins and losing two of the past five. Last time out, goals from Marshall Munetsi and Kamory Doumbia was enough for a 2-1 away victory at Saint-Etienne.
On their day, Reims are capable of beating anyone in Ligue 1, and they will be hoping to rain on Nice’s parade on Saturday. The home win is available at 3/1.
Nice Preview – Can the Eaglets sneak into Europe?
Inconsistency could cost Nice a place in Europe next season. Christophe Galtier’s side have struggled to put a good winning run together, as they have won four and lost four of eight since a 1-1 draw with Rennes in early April.
Nice go into the final weekend in sixth place. They are level on points with Strasbourg in fifth and two points away from fourth-place Rennes. If both of those lose, three points for the Eaglets will put them in the UEFA Europa League. If they finish fifth, Nice will qualify for next season’s UEFA Europa Conference League.
