Prediction: 1-1
Reims
Stade Auguste Bonal will host Sunday’s Coupe de France game between Sochaux and Reims, the two teams who meet for the first time since February 2018. Back then Reims defeated Sochaux 3-0 in the League Two and les Rouges et Blancs are seen as favourites to win the French Cup game as well. Keep in mind, though, that all Yunis Abdelhamid, Ibrahim Diakite, Oumar Diakite, Amir Richardson, Junya Ito, and Keito Nakamura are on international duty.
Les Jaunes et Bleus, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions and given the number of absentees in the visiting team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Barring any fresh injury worries, Oswald Tanchot is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Nimes 1-0 in the last league match at the weekend.
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.
