Stade de Reims vs Olympique Marseille Prediction: Reims will play tight.

Reims and Marseille go to battle in the Stade Auguste Delaune for the final game of the 28th round of the French Ligue 1. Stade Reims are on a very excellent run at the moment and they will hope to continue that run in front of all their fans. Marseille however, have suffered some setbacks and it has affected their title bid that was on a few weeks ago. 

A win for Reims will see them leapfrog Nice to 7th spot, should Nice fail to win, while Marseille can only hope to beat Lens to a second spot finish at the end of the campaign. Who is looking more ambitious here? We'll see.

Stade de Reims (WWWDW)

Reims have put up an excellent top 4 challenge and they are likely going to fulfill their ambitions in a few months. Reims have won their last 3 matches in a row. Their last match was a 1-0 win against AS Monaco away from home. Folarin Balogun scored the crucial goal in the 51st minute to give Reims all 3 points.

In their last 5 matches, Reims recorded 4 wins and 1 draw, which is brilliant.

Reims are currently in 8th spot on the league table, with 43 points from 27 matches. They had 10 wins, 13 draws and 4 losses. 

Team Streaks:- wins (3), no losses (5), no goals conceded (5), first to score (⅘), less than 4.5 cards (9/10), less than 10.5 corners (7/7).

Olympique Marseille (DWLLW)

Marseille's form is a serious worry for them. At this crucial stage of the season, they have been dropping points in the league. Now they come against one of the in-form teams away from home. 

Their last game ended in a 

2-2 draw at home against Strasbourg. Marseille were reduced to 10 men after Leonardo Balerdi was sent off in the 29th minute. But that didn't stop them, as they scored 2 goals in the 49th and 76th minute. Unfortunately, they conceded 2 late goals to earn just a point. 

Marseille are currently 3rd in the league, with 56 points from 27 matches. They have 17 wins, draws and 5 defeats. 

Team Streaks:- more than 2.5 goals (⅘), first to score (5/7), less than 4.5 cards (⅘).
