Prediction: 0-1
Reims
Stade Pierre de Coubertin will be the centre of attention when Cannes and Reims square off against each other in the Coupe de France semis. Les Dragons aim to claim yet another major scalp in the French Cup, but they will have a mountain to climb in Wednesday’s encounter. As Cannes failed to impress in back-to-back league defeats to Hyeres (0-1) and Angouleme (0-1), home win should not be considered.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Olympique Marseille. Considering that Reims will not have a better chance than this to book their spot in the French Cup final, we are tempted to place our bets on the Ligue 1 side. A man to watch in the away team will be Japan forward Keito Nakamura, who produced a brilliant display against OM. The likes of Daramy, Fofana, Gabriel Moscardo, Khadra, Sangui, and Siebatcheu miss out 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.
