Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Nice and Reims go head to head at Allianz Riviera in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of round 24. Les Aiglons are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Talented forward Bilal Brahimi, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, is pushing for a start, whereas all Nicolas Pepe, Youcef Atal, and Marcin Bulka remain in the recovery room.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, continue to impress under “football manager” tactician William Still, with the team crushing Troyes 4-0 in their last league match. Since Reims looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Mitchell Van Bergen and Noah Jean Holm should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Andy Delort):
Born on the 9th of October, 1991, the Algerian international is an FC Sete youth product who spent 11 years at the club's academy before joining Ajjacio in 2008. Delort spent his first season at the French club playing for their reserve team but never made any first-team appearances.
The following season, he joined Nimes and made his professional debut, featuring for the club in their Ligue two match against FC Metz on the 30th of August, 2009. The striker then rejoined Ajaccio and scored his first professional goal on the 15th of September, 2010, in L'ours' french league cup game against Le Havre.
Delort then went onto have little stints at clubs FC Metz, Tours, Wigan Athletic, Caen, and Toulouse before joining his current club Montepillier initially on a loan deal in 2018 and then permanently next year. Additionally, the 28-year-old has capped five times for his country Algeria, making his International debut on the 16th of June, 2019, in Algeria's 3-2 friendly win over Mali.
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.
