Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Clermont and Reims square off against each other at Stade Gabriel Montpied on day 31 of the current Ligue 1 campaign. Clermont aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Reims. As the rock-bottom side are seven points behind the safe zone, this has to go down as a must-win game for them. Jim Allevinah is a major doubt, while fellow midfielders Maxime Gonalons and Cheick Oumar Konate remain in the recovery room.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Strasbourg and Montpellier in the previous two league matches. As Reims are eager to keep their Europa Conference League hopes alive, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Amadou Kone is banned for the visiting team, while all Edoa, Okumu, Busi, and Daramy are sidelined 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.
