Lyon vs Reims Prediction 9 February 2025

🔊 Will Lyon manage to secure that long-awaited victory? In the 21st round of Ligue 1, Reims visits Olympique. Both teams have been showing far from their best results in 2025 and have been unable to secure three points in the championship for a long time. The chances of success are significantly higher for the home team; after all, the Lyon "Lions" have a much stronger squad, and the advantage of the home arena is on their side. From this prediction, you will learn how easy it will be for Lyon to confirm their status as favorites.

📊 H2H

The head-to-head between Lyon and Reims has established parity, with each team winning twice in the previous ten matches. In six of those games, both teams managed to score. So now you can consider betting on Both Teams to Score: Yes.

⚪ Lyon

Lyon managed to win at the beginning of 2025, after which the team hit a real rough patch. They have been unable to beat anyone for seven consecutive matches. During this time, the "Lions" were knocked out of the Coupe de France and dropped to eighth place in Ligue 1. The most concerning issue is their attacking line: in the previous five matches, Olympique Lyon scored only four goals.

Compounding the problems is the less than optimal physical condition of the team's forwards. For instance, strikers Lacazette and Fofana risk missing upcoming matches due to injuries, and their participation remains in question.

🔴 Reims

The string of failures in Ligue 1 seems endless. Reims advanced far in the Coupe de France, reaching the quarterfinals, but all their victories have been in this tournament. In the national championship, the club hasn't won since mid-November, earning only five points in the previous nine rounds. It's no surprise that the "Red and Whites" not only fell out of the top ten in the standings but also found themselves in 13th place with a not-so-significant cushion from the relegation zone.

A major reason for the team's troubles is also the lack of key players. Reims' midfielders Teuma and Kadra and forward Daramy are in the infirmary. Defender Okumu will miss the next match due to suspension.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Lyon has gradually started to "wake up," slowly returning to their former form. This refers specifically to their attack, which was silent for some time. But then the "Lions" scored against Nantes and Ludogorets, and later netted two goals against Marseille. Considering this progress, our editorial team suggests betting on Lyon Individual Total Goals Over 1.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

The average total corners in Lyon's matches is 10.4, while for Reims it hovers around nine corners. However, it's important to note that in only one of the last seven games involving the "Red and Whites" were there fewer than nine corner kicks. Therefore, we advise betting on Total Corners Over 8.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Both teams have gone too long without a win in Ligue 1. But while Lyon's streak is only four games, Reims' has reached nine matches. So this encounter is a great chance for the "Lions," who are eager to break their losing streak. We predict that this match will end with a 2:1 victory for Lyon.

Reims has not shown cohesive defense recently, conceding in five consecutive Ligue 1 matches. In three cases, the number of goals against them exceeded the minimum value. Our editorial team believes it's worth betting on Lyon Individual Total Goals Over 1.5.
