📰 Team News: Reims

Jordan (Hamstring injury), Reda Khadra (Cruciate ligament tear), Mohamed Daramy (Knee injury), Gabriel Moscardo (Hamstring injury) and Yaya Fofana (unknown injury) will be missing for Reims manager Samba Diawara.

It’s our opinion that Les rouges et blancs could use the 4-5-1 system for this game and select Yehvann Diouf, Hiroki Sekine, Joseph Okumu, Cedric Kipre, Sergio Akieme, Mamadou Diakhon, V. Atangana Edoa, Mory Gbane, Amadou Kone, Keito Nakamura and Oumar Diakite.

🗞️ Team News: Marseille

Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi has multiple availability issues to deal with. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Calf injury), Amir Murillo (Hamstring injury), Amine Harit (Calf injury), Faris Moumbagna (Cruciate ligament tear) and Ismaël Bennacer (Hamstring injury) are not ready for selection.

It’s our belief that Les Olympiens seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 lineup, choosing Geronimo Rulli, Luiz Felipe, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius, Luis Henrique, Valentin Rongier, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Amar Dedic, Bilal Nadir, Adrien Rabiot and Amine Gouiri.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Reims are likely to get a goal against this Marseille lineup, but one goal probably shouldn’t be good enough.

Our tip is for a close game with a 1-2 win for Marseille at the end of this one. There looks to be little in this one.
