Prediction: 2-0
Metz
After holding star-studded PSG to a 2-2 draw at Parc des Princes, Reims will be aiming to move closer to the Conference League berth when they take on Metz in the Ligue 1 round 26. Les Rouges et Blancs have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Le Havre, losing to Lille, while sharing the spoils with les Parisiens. Bear in mind that Reims failed to win the previous four home games in the French top flight.
Both Joseph Okumu and Maxime Busi are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Les Grenats, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Nantes and Clermont, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Reims. All Ismael Traore, Kevin N’Doram, and Ablie Jallow are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
