Reims – Strasbourg Preview

Alternating between wins, draws, and losses across their prior five overall and twelve home Ligue 1 outings, Reims continue to be a difficult proposition to predict. However a 90th minute winner last time out gave the Champagne club plenty to celebrate in a stunning 2-1 away win versus Monaco, in what was a crucial result that pushed Óscar García’s side further away from the relegation battle.
Reims’ form at the Stade Auguste-Delaune has been fairly solid of late, losing just three times across their previous ten such league outings (W4, D3). Five clean sheets in that streak highlights the club’s defensive solidity, whilst an average return of 1.8 goals across their last five home outings shows a growth in attacking output. In this clash, Reims will also be defending an incredible streak versus Strasbourg, having not lost a home Ligue 1 H2H since September 1958 (W10, D5 since)!
Continuing that could be easier said than done this time around, as Strasbourg continue to excel in the French top flight, going undefeated across their last four Ligue 1 outings (W2, D2). That mini-run is part of a longer streak that’s seen the visitors lose just twice in 15 prior league matches, whilst their overall return of 43 points from 26 Ligue 1 outings is the club’s best such return since 1996/97.
That’s made European qualification a real possibility, and Strasbourg also remain equally as impressive on the road, losing just one of their last eight away Ligue 1 outings (W4, D3). In a show of defensive strength, all four of those wins came ‘to nil’, whilst three saw Julien Stéphan’s side head into the break 1-0 up.
Players to watch: Reims youngster Nathanaël Mbuku grabbed the winner last time out, whilst both of his league goals this season came beyond the 88th minute. Meanwhile, Kévin Gameiro has netted nine Ligue 1 strikes this term. His last four all came on the road with two acting as match openers in Strasbourg victories.
Hot stat: Reims have averaged just 3.2 corners across their previous five Ligue 1 outings.
