📰 Team News: Reims

Reda Khadra (Cruciate ligament tear), Joseph Okumu (Shoulder injury), Mohamed Daramy (Knee injury) and Yaya Fofana (Shin injury) will not be taking part for Reims gaffer Samba Diawara.

In all likelihood, Les rouges et blancs will possibly kick off with a 4-5-1 system for this game, utilising Yehvann Diouf, Aurelio Buta, Hiroki Sekine, Cedric Kipre, Sergio Akieme, Junya Ito, V. Atangana Edoa, Amadou Kone, Nhoa Sangui, Keito Nakamura and Jordan Pefok.

📰 Team News: Toulouse

Toulouse manager Carles Martínez Novell has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Niklas Schmidt (Cruciate ligament tear), Zakaria Aboukhlal (Dead leg) and Rasmus Nicolaisen (Injury to the ankle) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Toulouse could decide to play in a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Guillaume Restes, Djibril Sidibe, Charlie Cresswell, Mark McKenzie, Aron Doennum, C. Casseres Jr., Vincent Sierro, Gabriel Suazo, Joshua King, Yann Gboho and Frank Magri.

💭 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Reims may not find it easy to hit the back of the net against this Toulouse lineup who should manage to score & go ahead.

We’re therefore tipping a 0-1 winning score for Toulouse at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
