Reims dropped into relegation zone after three defeats in a row to Troyes (1-2), Nice (0-2) an Montpellier (2-3) with only two matches remaining. David Guion’s men have nine wins, nine draws and 18 defeats with 36 points and 40-55 goal difference in this games. Reims have terrible away record as the team took only 13 points in 18 matches on the road with 16-33 goal difference. The team lost five out of six their last matches at opponents’ stadiums, allowing at least two goals.
No team have advantage in the head-to-heads between the teams as both of the opponents have two wins each and four draws. Reims were stronger side in the reverse match at own home 1-0. Both teams are in disappointing conditions and the only difference is that Marseille have guaranteed their place in Ligue 1 for the next season while Reims still need points. Considering awful home record of Marseille and the fact that team’s only priority is the French Cup final, we can expect the visitors at least avoid defeat in the match.
Prediction for the match: Reims to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
