Prediction: 0-1
Reims
Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps will be the centre of attention when Auxerre and Reims lock horns in the Ligue 1 round 8. Auxerre aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to St Etienne and you should know that they are eyeing their third home win of the process. Canada international Theo Bair is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute against les Verts, while midfielder Elisha Owusu misses out through suspension. The likes of Paul Joly, Lasso Coulibaly, and Ousoumane Camara remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, showed signs of improvement before the international break, with the team beating both Angers (3-1) and Montpellier (4-2) in style. Given Auxerre’s shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. It has to be noted, though, that both Yaya Fofana and Oumar Diakite are banned for the visiting side.
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.
