Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
A spot in the Ligue 1 will be at stake when Reims and Metz face each other at Stade Auguste-Delaune on Thursday evening. Les Rouges et Blancs failed to spoil PSG’s party in the Coupe de France final, but they are surely capable of matching Metz in the relegation playoffs final. All Gabriel Moscardo, Oumar Diakite, and Ange Tia are pushing for a start, while the likes of Daramy, Fofana, Khadra, and Teuma remain in the treatment room.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, are determined to return to the French top flight, but they will have a big fish to fry in Thursday’s clash. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg and yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards. As both sides are expected to adopt a cautious approach in the decider, there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. There are no fresh injury worries in the Ligue 2 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.
