Prediction: 2-1
Angers
Reims will be looking to build on back-to-back wins over Brest and Strasbourg when they host Angers at their Stade Auguste-Delaune on Matchday 23. Reims have been impressive at the back of late, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Wednesday’s football game. All Hornby, Munetsi, and Zeneli are likely to miss the match with injuries. Les Scoistes, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Bordeaux, with the team beating Nimes 3-1 in their last league match.
Angers have been struggling on the travels of late, and given Reims’ fine form in 2021, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Both Alioui and Cabot are quarantined, while Bahoken and Ebosse are sidelined through injuries. Defender Angelo Fulgini is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

A Malian midfielder Moussa Doumbia has been with Russian side FK Rostov since 2014. The 22-year-old powerful midfielder started his career with Real Bamako in 2012.
