Reims' season is a tragedy penned in vanishing ink. Their most recent chapter—a 0-0 draw with Stade Brest—wasn't heroic, merely a matter of surviving. With 28% possession, four corners, and two shots on target, they battled for a point, but the silence of their attack (zero goals in three games running) haunts them. Expected goals (xG) for the Marseille game are a meager 0.9, a glimmer of hope that is snuffed out by injuries to Jordan, Reda Khadra, Mohamed Daramy, Gabriel Moscardo, and Yaya Fofana. Samba Diawara, their hapless manager, looks at a form line of LDLLD—five wins, eight draws, 13 defeats—leave them stuck at 15th place. Junya Ito, four goals and three assists from 29 games, is their sole spark. Streaks tell the tale: zero victories in three, zero goals in three, less than 2.5 in five of six, conceding first in five of seven. Reims are not just playing Marseille—there are battling to hold back their own unraveling tale.
Olympique Marseille
Marseille’s campaign is a thunderous epic, though their latest verse—a 3-1 loss to PSG—stung with bitter notes. Amine Gouiri’s strike was a fleeting defiance against PSG’s storm, with 39% possession, five corners, and two shots on target yielding little. Yet, their xG of 1.76 against Reims signals a rebound. Injuries plague them—Rubén Blanco, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Amir Murillo, Amine Harit, and Faris Moumbagna are sidelined—but Roberto De Zerbi’s vision holds firm. A form of WLWLL reflects resilience: 15 wins, four draws, seven losses, securing second place. Adrien Rabiot, with six goals and three assists in 23 matches, is their maestro, orchestrating chaos. Streaks are a betrayal of discipline—under 4.5 cards in six successive, under 10.5 corners in six of seven—but their attack hums with danger. Marseille do not travel to Reims; they descend upon it, a force of nature determined to destroy a struggling foe and reshape Ligue 1's pecking order.
Head to Head
Reims enjoys a historic edge—32 wins to 22 for Marseille, with 17 draws—but recent stories favor the visitors. Their last matchup, a 2-2 draw on August 25, 2024, set the stage. Streaks scream goals: Marseille conceded in five straight, over 2.5 goals in four of five, both teams scoring in four of five.
