Reims vs Marseille Predictions

Goals should be expected in Wednesday's Ligue 1 contest at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.

I'm taking BTTS and over 2.5 goals as individual picks, while I also fancy Marseille to score two goals or more.

Reims have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches
Reims have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 matches
Reims conceded 2+ goals in 3 of their last 4 matches
Reims have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 matches against Marseille
Marseille have BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Reims
Marseille have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches (Ligue 1)
Marseille scored 2+ goals in their last 4 matches

Head to Head

Reims and Marseille will meet for the 20th occasion on Wednesday. Marseille hold a nine-to-four winning advantage.

Les Phocéens have had the better of more recent encounters, claiming victories in five of their last six matches over the past three years.

Reims Form

Reims return to the Stade Auguste-Delaune winless in six Ligue 1 matches following a 1-1 draw at Brest on Sunday. Samba Diawara's side have drawn three and lost three games since a 2-1 win against Metz in March.

Les Rouges et Blancs have fared little better in recent home fixtures. Reims failed to win six of their last seven matches in front of their own support.

Despite their downturn in form, Diawara's men sit 11th in the division, 12 points clear of the relegation zone.

Reims Team News

Reims boss Diawara has a few players unavailable for selection. Valentin Atangana, Joseph Okumu and Mohamed Daramy are expected to remain sidelined.

Maxime Busi could make his return to the squad after a thigh injury.

Marseille Form

Marseille maintained their chances of European qualification with a 3-1 home win against Lorient this past weekend. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was again among the goals as the Gabonese forward scored twice to take his tally for the season to 16.

Les Phocéens have picked up eight points from their four previous Ligue 1 games since a 3-1 away defeat at Lille in April. Currently eighth in the division, Marseille could climb up to sixth should they claim the points on Thursday.

Jean-Louis Gasset's men have a poor away record, though. Les Phocéens failed to win 13 of 15 away Ligue 1 matches this season.

Marseille Team News

Head coach Gasset has a strong squad available for Wednesday's Ligue 1 contest. Valentin Rongier and Bilal Nadir are the only players unavailable for the visitors.

Verdict

Reims v Marseille

A high-scoring affair seems likely in a clash of two sides short on clean sheets this season.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals should prove solid selections, with Marseille also tipped to score two goals or more.
