Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Stade Auguste-Delaune II pits together Reims and Metz, the two teams who were not in action at the weekend. Reims aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Ligue 1, and they will not have a better chance than this to do so as Metz are fighting hard to avoid relegation to the French second tier. David Guion’s troops did well to hold star-studded Olympique Lyon to a 1-1 draw in their last league, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Metz.
Les Grenats did well to beat Strasbourg 1-0 at home in their last league fixture, but given their poor away record in the national championship, the visitors are likely to return home empty-handed from the trip to Reims. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous two meetings in the Ligue 1.

Highlighted Player (Moussa Doumbia):

A Malian midfielder Moussa Doumbia has been with Russian side FK Rostov since 2014. The 22-year-old powerful midfielder started his career with Real Bamako in 2012. Doumbia spent two years playing for the Scorpions in the Malien Premiere Division, the top rank in the country. Russian side recognised his talent and made a transfer in 2014 tying Moussa Doumbia on a four-year deal.
During two seasons with Russian Premier League outfit, Doumbia was involved in 31 league matches. In 2015-16 season he contributed to his club’s runners-up finish with two goals of his own. Full-time Mali international made his national team debut in 2014 in a 3-1 victory over China in Shenzen.
His most recent international appearances occurred in September during an empathic 5-2 win over Benin in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. Doumbia went on to score his team’s fifth goal with eleven minutes on the clock rounding off an impressive performance.
Highlighted Team (Metz):

Thanks to amalgamation of two amateur clubs Metz were founded in 1932 and soon they became a professional team. Les Grenats are one of the oldest professional teams in France, but they have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy. Metz finished the 1997/1998 season in second place in the standings and it has to be noted that they were level on points with champions Lens (worse goal difference).
However, les Grenats won Coupe de France on two occasions (1983/1984, 1987/1988), with the team beating Monaco and Sochaux respectively in the title games. Emmanuel Adebayor is considered one of the most famous players who whore Metz jersey and you should know that the Togolese attacker scored 15 goals in 44 appearances in the league for the club.
Metz play their home games at Stade Saint-Symphorien, the venue which was opened back in September, 1923. Les Grenats wear red shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is white.
