Prediction: 2-0
Reims
Strasbourg play host to Reims at Stade de la Meinau in the Ligue 1 round 14. Le Racing have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team netting 11 goals in total in the previous four league fixtures. Strasbourg are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Ludovic Ajorque misses out through suspension, while veteran attacker Kevin Gameiro remains in the recovery room alongside Lebo Mothiba, Karol Fila, and Jean-Eudes Aholou.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the trip to Strasbourg, and given their five-game winless run, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Fode Doucoure, Thomas Foket, Marshall Munetsi, Fraser Hornby, and Arber Zeneli are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Adrien Thomasson):
A midfielder with a keen eye for a precise pass, Adrian Thomasson is a French international who plays for Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. Thomasson is a versatile asset who can be equally deployed in a number of different positions up front, including a holding position at the centre of the park.
He began his professional career at Evian in 2012 and spent three years with Les Roses before moving to Nantes in 2015. One league match shy from entering the 100-game club, Adrien Thomasson scored nine goals for the Canaries before joining Strasbourg in the summer of 2018.
As a player who likes to hold on to the ball and build play from behind, Thomasson boasts impressive passing ability. Albeit an attacking midfielder who can play on both wings and in advanced midfield position, this French footballer also makes quite a contribution in defense.
Highlighted Team (Reims):
Reims are a French football club founded in 1931. Reims welcome their rivals at Stade Auguste Delaune, which can hold up to 21,684 people. Believe it or not, Reims won six Ligue 1 titles (1948/1949, 1952/1953, 1954/1955, 1957/1958, 1959/1960, 1961/1962). To make things even better for the fans, Reims participated in the European Cup final on two occasions.
In 1956 they faced Real Madrid in the title game and despite taking the lead after six minutes, the French side eventually suffered a 4-3 loss to los Blancos at Parc des Princes. Three years later Reims had a chance to get their revenge on Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants once again won the European Cup, with Mateos and Di Stefano finding the net in the 2-0 victory over Albert Batteux.
The club’s most notable footballer is Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals for France at the 1958 FIFA World Cup finals. Reims’ home colours are red and white, with the team wearing white when playing on the road.
