Nice vs Reims: prediction & betting odds 2 May 2025

The Matchday 32 clash in Ligue 1 between Nice and Reims will take place on May 2 at the Allianz Riviera Stadium. Nice vs. Reims: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Nice

After enduring a five-match winless streak in Ligue 1, the team secured their second consecutive victory in the tournament, defeating PSG 3-1 in the previous round. This marked PSG's first defeat in the current championship. Despite this success, Nice dropped one place in the standings to 6th, with Lyon overtaking them due to a superior goal difference after a significant win over Rennes in Round 31. Nonetheless, Nice remains in contention for a Champions League spot, trailing the third position by just two points. Notably, the team has displayed solid defensive performances in their home matches this Ligue 1 season, conceding only 15 goals, second only to Auxerre (14).

  • Both teams scored in Nice's last six Ligue 1 matches.
  • At least three goals were scored in five of the team's previous matches in this tournament.
  • At home, the team has won seven of their last ten Ligue 1 matches (1 draw, 2 losses).

Predicted lineup for Nice (3-4-3)

Marcin Bulka – Melvin Bard, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Mohamed Abdel Monem – Jonathan Clauss, Hicham Boudaoui, Pablo Rosario, Ali Abdi – Morgan Sanson, Badredine Bouanani, Gaetan Laborde.

Defender Youssouf Ndayishimiye is out for the rest of the season due to a cruciate ligament tear.

Reims

The club played out a goalless draw with Montpellier in their previous Ligue 1 match. Prior to that, Reims secured two consecutive clean-sheet victories in the tournament, maintaining a shutout for three matches. This is Reims' longest clean-sheet streak in the championship since March 2023. The club is no longer in contention for European spots, currently sitting 13th in the Ligue 1 standings, five points clear of the relegation zone. Additionally, Reims lost 2-4 to Nice in the first round.

  • The team has not lost in five of their last six Ligue 1 matches (3 wins, 2 draws).
  • At least one opponent failed to score in ten of Reims' last eleven Ligue 1 matches.
  • The club failed to score in five of their last six away matches in the French top division.

Predicted lineup for Reims (5-4-1)

Yehvann Diouf – Aurelio Buta, Moritz Gbané, Joseph Okumu, Cedric Kipre, Sergio Akieme – Junya Ito, Valentin Atangana Edoa, Amadou Koné, Keito Nakamura – Jordan Siebatcheu.

Match Prediction for Nice vs. Reims

In the last round, Franck Haise's side managed to end PSG's incredible 32-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1, highlighting Nice's strong determination towards the season's end. The team had a slump, but they are now recovering at the right time. Reims, on the other hand, has also improved in recent championship matches, earning points in five of their last six Ligue 1 outings after a poor run of 15 winless matches.

However, the home side's motivation is undoubtedly high. Nice is fighting for a Champions League spot, with a chance to finish even in the top three. Additionally, the team has been excellent in home league matches, winning seven of their last ten. Reims, meanwhile, has lost four of their last eight away matches in Ligue 1 and failed to score in five of their last six away games in this tournament. Moreover, the team from the French Riviera has defeated their upcoming opponent in two of their last three head-to-head league matches (1 draw).

Therefore, my prediction: Victory for Nice

Nice — Reims betting tips 2 May 2025

OGC Nice remain in contention for one of the two remaining UEFA Champions League spots, while Stade de Reims are focused on securing their Ligue 1 status for next season.

That said, OGC Nice appear the least likely among the contenders to secure even third place, as they are level on points with Strasbourg Alsace, who trail them closely. The target is just two points away, but ahead of them are Olympique Lyonnais, AS Monaco, and Lille, who are also in the mix for a top-three finish. OGC Nice still have to face Stade de Reims, as well as mid-table sides Stade Rennais and Stade Brestois 29, both of whom are no longer chasing major objectives but remain difficult opponents. Securing maximum points from these matches is far from certain.

Stade de Reims have struggled significantly this season. The team went 15 matches without a win, suffering nine losses and picking up six draws. After the ninth game without a victory, the club decided to make a managerial change. Samba Diawara, who had been assistant to the outgoing Luka Elsner, was promoted to head coach. The winless run ended on 29 March. Since then, under the Malian manager, the team have recorded three wins, two draws, and only one narrow defeat—a 0:1 loss to Strasbourg Alsace—in their last six outings. Still, relegation remains a concern, with the cushion to 17th place standing at just six points.

The crisis at Stade de Reims appears to have passed. As such, we do not expect them to lose by more than a single goal, while OGC Nice will be focused solely on getting the win.
