Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is indicated.
Strasbourg
The Alsatians suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in the French championship, losing to Brest 1-3 in the last round. This is the longest losing streak for the club in the current season of the tournament. Strasbourg's run of conceding goals in Ligue 1 has now reached seven matches. This poor run has dropped the club from 9th to 13th in the league table, with the gap to the relegation zone reduced to just three points. Furthermore, Strasbourg has one of the most unreliable defenses in the current Ligue 1 season, having conceded 27 goals, with only two teams faring worse.
- Both teams scored in 15 of Strasbourg's last 17 matches in the French championship.
- At least three goals were scored in six of the club's last seven games in this tournament.
- Strasbourg has not lost in six of their last seven home matches in Ligue 1 (four wins, two draws).
Reims
The team also lost their previous league match, succumbing to Lens 0-2. This defeat was Reims' fourth in their last six matches in this tournament (one win, one draw). The club is in 9th place in the Ligue 1 table and is five points ahead of their upcoming opponent. Moreover, Reims has a positive goal difference, unlike Strasbourg. It's important to note that Luca Elsner's side has performed well away from home this season, ranking sixth among the best away teams.
- The club has not scored more than once in five of their last six Ligue 1 matches.
- Reims has not lost in five of their last seven away matches in the elite French division (three wins, two draws).
- At least three goals were scored in five of Reims' last six away games in the championship.
Strasbourg vs. Reims: Match Prediction
Strasbourg has lost their last four Ligue 1 matches, but only one of them was at home. Notably, Strasbourg has only lost once at home in the current championship (three wins, two draws), and that loss was to one of the tournament leaders, Monaco, with a score of 1-3. However, they managed to score against the Monegasques and regularly find the net at home, boasting a 10-match scoring streak in the French championship.
Reims' recent form is not much better than their upcoming opponent's. The club has lost four of their last six Ligue 1 matches. Additionally, Reims has struggled against Strasbourg, failing to win in five of their last six head-to-head encounters (three draws, two losses), losing two of the last three meetings.
I believe the Alsatian club, which performs well at home, will at least not lose to their convenient opponent. My prediction: Strasbourg to win or draw
