Prediction: 1-0
Reims
Brest will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Angers when they face Reims on Matchday 26. Les Pirates proved their worth in the last league match, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to represent France in European competitions next term. Forward Abdallah Sima is a major doubt is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Romain Faivre being ready to step up.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, are running down a blind alley, with the team sitting in the danger zone. Given Reims’ six-game losing run in the national championship, we predict that Brest are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Talented forward Mamadou Diakhon is widely expected to return to Reims’ starting line-up, while all Reda Khadra, Yaya Fofana, and Mohamed Daramy are out of contention through injuries.
