Strasbourg face off with Reims in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade de la Meinau this Sunday. Strasbourg are currently hovering in 13th place, but just one point separates Liam Rosenior's side from the relegation playoff position.
Reims, meanwhile, are four places above them in ninth, and could even move into the top six with a win this weekend.
So which of these teams will come out on top on Sunday?
Strasbourg vs Reims Head-to-Head and Betting Tips
- Strasbourg's recent record against Reims is a relatively strong one. They have only lost to them in one of their last six meetings and defeated them the last time they faced off. The last time Reims won at the Stade de la Meinau was in January 2021.
- Strasbourg are coming into this match on a truly woeful run of form. They have lost five of their last six games, and are currently on a four-match losing streak. Last weekend saw them brushed aside by Brest.
- Likewise, Reims have not been in the best form themselves recently. After winning four of their first seven fixtures this season, they have now lost four of their last six. However, it is worth noting that their loss to Lens last weekend was their first since November 3.
- Despite their low position in the league table, Strasbourg have been potent in front of goal this season. Only four other teams in Ligue 1 have scored more goals than Liam Rosenior's side, who have scored 22 thus far.
- While Reims have not scored as many goals as their opponents this weekend, they do have one of Ligue 1's most dangerous attackers in Keito Nakamura. He has scored six goals, putting him joint-third in the league's scoring charts.
Strasbourg vs Reims Prediction
Both of these sides will come into this game looking to turn their form around, particularly the home side, who have lost four games in a row.
So can Strasbourg arrest that slide here? The omens do not look so good, particularly as their goals appear to have dried up in recent weeks.
With that said, Reims have not looked too great themselves recently, although they have won three games on the road this season.
Overall, then, we can probably expect an even game that seems likely to end in a draw.
Prediction: Strasbourg 1-1 Reims
