Reims
- Reims are more structured, with disciplined defensive solidity and a patient tempo
- Reims, on the other hand, are a compact team, with a back three, wing-backs, and players who can pick their moments to press.
- They’re a solid defensive unit, but are struggling for goals at the moment, with a 2-1 defeat to Le Havre in the Coupe de France quarter-finals making it five competitive games without a goal, although they have kept four successive 0-0 draws in Ligue 2.

Betting Insights
- Under 2.5 goals is a huge favorite at 1.77 here, and that’s the way to go.
- Reims have been involved in low-scoring games in recent weeks, and their current goal drought isn’t a recipe for success against a defensively solid Dunkerque side.
- The bookmakers have a narrow favorite in Reims at 2.16, with Dunkerque at 3.37 and the draw at 3.25.
Prediction
The intense and tight Stade Marcel-Tribut could just about give Dunkerque the edge, but we’re backing the visitors to keep things tight and nick it in a low-scoring affair.
