Football Bet of the Day: Reims to cream Amiens

Reims v Amiens
Saturday 19:00

The fiesta fizzled out in Spain last night as Rayo Vallecano lost 0-2 at home to Girona to leave us a goal short.

We've crossed the border into France today for one of this evening's Ligue 1 games. In-form Reims entertain out-of-form Amiens and we're backing a win for the hosts.

Promoted last season, David Guion's Reims are unbeaten in 10 and up to sixth in the table. Most recently, they've won 4/5 home and away. At the Auguste Delaune, they have won their last two, beating top-half sides Marseille and Rennes.

Seventeenth-placed Amiens have won their last couple of home games 1-0, but have lost 5/7 all told home and away. Visiting teams now 11th and higher, Christophe Pellissier's Unicorns are W0-D1-L8 this term. Across those nine games, they've scored only twice.

Today they go up against a Reims defence that has conceded nine times in 13 home games this season. Only runaway leaders Paris St-Germain have a better defensive record and we fear the visitors will struggle to make an impact this evening.
