Stade Reims vs Strasbourg Prediction: Reims can’t afford to drop any more points

Reims might be on their way down the table after back-to-back defeats in their last 2 league games. At the moment, they remain 5th with 20 points and they face a close competition from RC Lens who are only 1 point behind in 6th place.

 Reims were absolutely disappointing in their last match against Stade Rennes last weekend away from home. And they are anxious to get back to winning ways when they take on Strasbourg at the Stade Auguste Delaune.

 Strasbourg have not been winning their own games, but they have not lost any of their last 3 matches in the league, with those matches ending in a draw. A win here would mean a whole lot for both clubs, especially for Strasbourg in 13th place.

Stade Reims

Stade Reims have seen their good form hit the rock in recent times and they are currently on back-to-back defeats against PSG and Stade Rennes. Against Rennes, they were behind in just 4 minutes and in the 46th minute, Oumar Diakite scored Reims’ only goal. And in the second half, Reims conceded 2 extra goals in the 46th and 66th minutes to end a very poor game. Their stats in the game were: 62% possession, 5 shots on target and 8 corner kicks.

 Stade Reims are in 5th spot and they have 20 points from 13 matches. Overall, they have 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats and they have 0 goals.

 Reims lost 2-0 the last time they faced Strasbourg last season. And prior to that game, the previous 3 matches had ended in a draw. The last time Reims defeated Strasbourg in a competitive match was back in January 2021.

Strasbourg

At the moment, Strasbourg are not performing up to expectations and they need a win or else they stand the risk of dropping further down the table. Strasbourg are without a win in their last 5 league games in a row. In those games, they recorded 3 defeats and 2 draws. Their last 2 league games against Rennes and Clermont foot both ended in a draw.

 Strasbourg are ranked 13th on the ligue 1 table, with 13 points from 12 matches. They have recorded 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats so far this season.

 Strasbourg will be traveling to the Stade Auguste Delaune to fight for a win. Strasbourg holds a very good record against Stade Reims since 2021. Since then, both clubs have played 4 matches and Strasbourg won 1 and they played a draw in the other 3. Their most recent meeting ended in a 2-0 win for Strasbourg back in April this year.

Head to Head

Stade Reims and Strasbourg will be playing their 16th match against each other. In their previous 15 meetings, Reims won 6 matches, while Strasbourg won 4 matches and 5 matches ended in a draw.

Analysis and Predictions

Despite the defeat, Reims put up a good performance in their last match against Rennes. They were unlucky to lose by such a scoreline, but there is no reason why they can’t bounce back against Strasbourg. Strasbourg have the advantage in terms of their recent meetings with Stade Reims, but at the moment that counts for little with their form also looking very poor.

Both clubs have played less than 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches against each other and in their last 6 matches, they have played less than 10.5 corners. Both options might be repeated in this match.
