📰 Team News: Reims

The Reims manager Will Still does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash owing to a fully healthy squad ready to go.

In our view, Les rouges et blancs will probably use the 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Yehvann Diouf, Thomas Foket, Cheick Keita, Yunis Abdelhamid, Thibault De Smet, Marshall Munetsi, Azor Matusiwa, Junya Ito, Dion Lopy, Alexis Flips and Folarin Balogun.

📰 Team News: Marseille

Marseille boss Igor Tudor has some current player fitness concerns. Amine Harit (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Sead Kolasinac (Adductor problems) will miss out on this game.

We reckon that Les Olympiens appear most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Pau Lopez, Chancel Mbemba, Samuel Gigot, Jordan Veretout, Jonathan Clauss, Nuno Tavares, Valentin Rongier, Matteo Guendouzi, Cengiz Under, Ruslan Malinovsky and Alexis Sanchez.

💭 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Reims may not find it easy to score goals against this Marseille side who we think might be able to grind out a win.

We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning margin for Marseille at the end of the match.

Should be interesting.
