Nantes vs Reims Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 10 October 2026
Nantes are playing in Ligue 2 for the first time since the 2012/13 season and have started with three consecutive defeats. Reims are the only side in the division yet to drop points. After seven rounds, the gap between them is just six points. A home win would cut it in half.
Head-to-Head
Nantes beat Reims 2-1 away in their most recent head-to-head meeting, which took place in Ligue 1. Reims had the better of the corners that day - 9 to 3 - but Nantes outperformed them in shots on target (6 to 2) and expected goals (1.42 to 0.96).
In 13 head-to-head meetings at Nantes' ground, the record is fairly even: five wins for the hosts, four for Reims and four draws. Nantes have scored 14 goals at home in those matches compared to 10 for Reims, and Reims have failed to score in seven of them.
Head-to-head statistics Nantes - Reims
Nantes Team Overview
Nantes ended their most recent Ligue 2 match with a 2-1 away win over Boulogne. After a goalless first half, they scored twice, despite managing only two shots on target across the 90 minutes.
Nantes are 15th with seven points, all of which have come in their last four matches under Grégory Poirier. They can score - they came back from two goals down at Guingamp to take a point. But their defence is what's holding them back. The team have conceded 13 goals, more than anyone else in Ligue 2 except Rodez and Laval. At home, opponents have scored six times in three matches. Nantes have kept a clean sheet just once - against Nancy (1-0), who finished the match with ten men. That defensive vulnerability is the main risk for the hosts against Reims' attack.

Stade Reims Team Overview
In their last match, Reims drew 1-1 at home with Montpellier. They lost the possession battle (40% against 60%), but had more than twice as many shots - 21 to 10, including 16 from inside the penalty area.
Reims are yet to lose this season. They have more draws than wins, though - four against three - which is why Nicolas Usaï's side sit third on 13 points. That is the play-off zone for promotion to Ligue 1, with direct promotion spots currently held by Saint-Étienne and Red Star. Going forward, the visitors have been productive: 15 goals in seven rounds, five of them scored by Yaya Fofana. His goal last round earned Reims a point against Montpellier (1-1), a match in which they played with ten men from the 71st minute.

Total Goals Prediction
In the last 12 head-to-head matches at Nantes' ground, the two sides have managed no more than three goals combined. The current-season numbers for both clubs are also unimpressive: Nantes are averaging 1.29 goals scored per match and 1.86 conceded, while Reims average 2.14 scored and 1.29 conceded. The bet on Total Goals - Under 3.5 is supported both by the head-to-head trend and by this season's scoring records.
Corners Prediction
In six of the last seven head-to-head meetings at Nantes' ground, the hosts have taken at least five corners. Nantes have also cleared the four-corner mark in six consecutive Ligue 1 matches. On that basis, a bet on Nantes Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 looks justified.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1:1 (12.19%), 0:1 (8.74%) and 1:2 (8.22%). The 1:1 draw has the highest probability among them, though the gap between second and third place is small.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Reims have gone unbeaten in 21 of their last 22 Ligue 2 matches. Away from home that run holds up just as well: they have not lost in seven consecutive away fixtures. Nantes will find it difficult to end that sequence. In home head-to-head meetings, they have failed to score more than one goal against Reims ten times in a row. And one goal is unlikely to be enough - the visitors have scored in 11 of their last 12 Ligue 2 matches. So even a decent evening for Nantes would more likely end in a draw. We do not expect Reims to suffer their first defeat of the season in Nantes. Our pick is Reims not to lose. Predicted score: 1-1.
