Prediction: 2-0
Le Havre
Reims will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to St Etienne and Nice when they take on Le Havre on Matchday 18. Les Rouges et Blancs have been struggling at the start of 2025, but Sunday’s game could be the turning point for the home team. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, talented forward Mamadou Diakhon is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in a 4-2 loss to Nice. All Reda Khadra, Yaya Fofana, and Mohamed Daramy should miss out with injuries for the home team.
Le Havre, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run in the French top flight. As Le Club Doyen experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss at Marseille in their last away game, we are tempted to bet on Reims this time out. Forward Yann Kitala should be the only absentee in 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.
