Prediction: 2-1
Montpellier
Following a 3-1 win over Angers, Reims will be aiming to stay in the Champions League berth when they face Montpellier on Matchday 7. Les Rouges et Blancs have been producing fine performances in Ligue 1 of late and, as a result, they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. All Reda Khadra, Joseph Okumu, Gabriel Moscardo, and Abdoul Kone are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
La Paillade, on the other hand, have been struggling on the road this term, with the team losing each of their three away games and given Reims’ fine form, home win should definitely be considered. Montpellier forward Tanguy Coulibaly serves a one-game ban, while Rabby Nzingoula has joined the likes of Tamari, Chotard, Maamma, Sainte-Luce, and Issoufou in the recovery room. In their last meeting at Stade Auguste-Delaune Montpellier defeated Reims, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Téji Savanier):
Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.
Ahead of the start of the 2015/2016 Ligue 2 campaign, Teji Savanier joined Nimes and he has been playing for the club ever since. The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
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.
