Prediction: 2-0
Ajaccio
Reims will look to build on a 3-0 win over Toulouse when they face Ajaccio in the Ligue 1 round 26. Les Rouges et Blancs continue to impress under “football manager” boss William Still, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Japan winger Junya Ito, who impressed in the last league match with one goal and two assists, whereas defender Emmanuel Agbadou misses out with a muscle problem.
Ajaccio, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Troyes, but given their poor away record in the 2022/2023 season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. As for the away team, all Thomas Mangani, Yoann Touzghar, and Youssouf Kone remain on the sidelines with injuries.
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.
