French Ligue 1 European Games: Nice vs. Reims

Friday 012 Nice vs Lance

At 02:45 am on May 3, 2025, Nice played against Lance at the Allianz Riviera Stadium.

Nice ranked 6th with 54 points, only 2 points away from the Champions League. It has been in full swing recently. It has won 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last five league rounds. After defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 away game in the last round, morale has been high.

Reims ranked 13th with 33 points, has no worries about relegation and has withdrawn from European competition. He has won 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last four league rounds, and tied with Montpellier 0-0 away from home, and the players have no fighting spirit.

First, let’s take a look at the basic situation of the two teams. Nice ranks 6th with 54 points, and has good performance at home, with 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, but in the last 10 games, 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at home, and its condition has some ups and downs. Lance ranked 13, with 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses away. In the last 10 games, 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses away, 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss away, and his performance is relatively stable, especially the high unbeaten rate on the away game. In terms of the value of the two teams, Nice is significantly higher, with 220 million euros against Reims of 119 million, which may affect the agency's assessment of them.

The next is a historical confrontation. Nice has won 3 wins, 7 draws and 0 losses in the last 10 games, 1 win, 3 draws and 0 losses at home, and there are many draws, which shows that the two teams often find it difficult to distinguish the winner when they meet. The most recent encounter was in January 25, when Lance lost to Nice 2-4 at home, but he had drawn many times before, especially Nice's multiple draws at home, which may affect the betting tendency of this game.

In terms of injury, Nice has several midfielders and defenders injured, including Dante, Tangi, etc., which may affect the defense. Lance, Jun Ya, who is injured in the midfield, may be affected. However, Lance's injury seems to have a small impact, especially Jun Ito, who is also the main midfielder, and his absence may weaken midfield control.

Nice defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 away in the last league, and maintained two consecutive victories and three rounds unbeaten, and his performance strengthened again. The team's offensive output is very guaranteed, but the defense line's zero-blocking ability is still insufficient. He has strong points-making ability at home, and defeated his opponent at home in the last game, finally ending the dilemma of being unable to win in three rounds. Reims drew 0-0 with Montpellier away in the last league, and his performance has strengthened recently, and he has only lost in the last 6 rounds. The team's offensive output needs to be strengthened, and the strength of the defense line will still be improved to a certain extent. He has performed poorly in the away game before and has remained unbeaten in three rounds recently.

In the first leg of this season, Nice defeated his opponent 4-2 away. Nice's recent performance has continued to strengthen, and his morale has also been greatly encouraged by the victory over Paris Saint-Germain away. The home court has also ended the dilemma of unwinding for many rounds. At present, the team also needs to make every effort to win points in order to compete for European qualifications. Lance's unbeaten rate has increased significantly in recent times, and it is also because of this wave of points grabbing and gradually moving away from the relegation zone. The stability of away games has also improved to a certain extent, but in terms of overall strength, there is still a certain gap with the opponent. In this confrontation between the two teams, Nice, whose recent situation has been recovering, is still the more favorable side.
