Clermont Foot vs Reims

Clermont Foot have scored 38 goals in 34 matches and conceded 44, with only 6 clean sheets, which suggests they can struggle to keep games fully controlled. Their recent form includes two wins but also two draws and two losses, indicating some inconsistency in turning chances into goals. Reims, meanwhile, have a stronger overall profile with 53 goals scored and 35 conceded, plus 15 clean sheets. Their recent form is mixed but steadier, and their away record (14W 14D 6L) points to fewer collapses than Clermont, which can limit the number of goals in a match. The goal-related probabilities lean toward a lower-scoring game: both teams to score is 51.9%, and over 2.5 goals is 45.9%, so the under 2.5 angle is slightly favored rather than dominant. With Clermont’s defensive record not especially strong and Reims capable of scoring, there is enough upside for a 3+ goal outcome to keep the risk high. Overall, the matchup profile supports Under 2.5 goals as a reasonable but not confident call, consistent with the close probabilities and the moderate scoring balance between the teams.
