Our prediction for this Coupe de France match:
A place in the Coupe de France last 32 will be at stake when Mutzig and Reims lock horns in a highly-anticipated game. Mutzig welcome their rivals on a neutral location (Parc des Sports) and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Sunday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Thomas Schall, who scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 win over Jeunesse.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Monaco. Reims failed to find the net in the previous three Ligue 1 games, but they are surely capable of breaking Mutzig defence. As David faces Goliath at Parc des Sports, anything but a routine away win would be a big shock. All Joseph Okumu, Maxime Busi, Mohamed Daramy, and Reda Khadra are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
