Marseille vs Reims Preview
Marseille
Roberto De Zerbi made a storming start to life in Ligue 1 with a dominant 1-5 win in his first competitive Ligue 1 match away at the Stade Francis-Le Blé against the hosts Brest.
The former Brighton manager’s move in the summer got off to a flier, with former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood giving them the lead just three minutes into the match before Luis Henrique doubled their lead in the 26th minute.
Greenwood made it a brace in the 31st minute before Mahdi made it 3-1 at the break with a strike in the sixth minute of added time. Marseille started the second half like they left off the first, with Luis Henrique doubling his tally in the 48th minute and extending Marseille’s lead before new signing Elye Wahi sealed the rout with a penalty in the 69th minute.
Our football predictions analysis shows that Roberto De Zerbi and his charges will look to extend this good run of form when they host Reims at the Velodrome on Sunday.
Reims
Reims’ Ligue 1 season got off to a rocky start with a 0-2 home loss against LOSC Lille on Saturday in front of the home fans at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.
Reims’ evening encountered a complication when Madou Kone was sent off in the 15th minute, making a hard task even harder.
Lille fully capitalized, with Bafode Diakite giving the visitors the lead before halftime and Jonathan David completing the win for LOSC in the 93rd minute.
For Reims, the trip to face Marseille on Sunday will represent a chance for a reset and thus demonstrate their mettle in adversity when they go one-on-one against a Marseille side that is riding high in confidence.
Expert soccer predictions on 22Bet show that Reims have the capacity to trouble Marseille; however, they will need tactical discipline and will definitely need to stamp out any disciplinary issues that might get them handicapped with a sending-off again.
