Prediction: 1-1
Brest
Reims and Brest take on each other at Stade Auguste-Delaune on day 25 of the current Ligue 1 campaign. Following a thrilling 5-0 win over Bordeaux, Reims suffered a 1-0 loss to Nantes in their last league match, but despite the defeat they remainder in 14th place in the standings. Oscar Garcia’s men suffered three defeats in the previous four league fixtures, but they are surely capable of matching Brest in front of home fans.
Yunis Abdelhamid is banned for the match after he was sent off in the last league match. Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Troyes. Brest, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. Goalkeeper Sebastien Cibois should be the only absentee in the away team.
