Reims take on the visitors Rennes in the round 16 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Thursday, December 29th at Stade Auguste-Delaune (Reims).
It is not easy to beat t Reims his season. The "Champagne" can be considered a local football legend. They have 6 league titles, in addition, they managed to reach the final of the European Champions Cup twice. But all these successes were still in the middle of the last century, at most in the early 60s. In recent times, just being in League 1 can be seen as a good success. In the spring they finished in 12th position. Now, too, it turns out to go almost in the same place, one step higher. But it is worth remembering that Reims lost only four times in 15 matches played. But the majority of matches, 8 of them to be precise, ended in a draw. Each of them brought points and it’s not easy to compete for something significant at this pace.

Rennes have been among the leaders of French football in recent years. The Red-Blacks were founded at the very beginning of the last century. But something significant has been achieved in recent decades. In 2019, it was possible to win the country's cup - the 3rd such achievement, and the previous ones were from half a century ago. A year later, they climbed to a 3rd place – their best record of all time. It did not work out to repeat this achievement, but last season it was a decent, 4th final position. But perhaps it will be possible to take one more step forward. Wards of Genesio look decent: 9 wins and 4 draws with just a couple of losses. Only PSG and, unexpectedly, Lens are better at the moment Of course, they will definitely try to overtake the latter, the distance between the clubs is small.
Reims have good results in recent head-to-head matches with Rennes. But last season the clubs exchanged victories. Rennes are really good this season and they are motivated to stay at least in the top three, as they are now. We bet on the victory of the “red-blacks” on the road, but with a handicap of “0”.
Prediction for the match: Rennes to win with 0.0 handicap.
