Reims vs Strasbourg prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 6, 2025
One of the matches of the 28th round of the French championship will be played on Sunday at the Auguste Delaune Stadium, where local side Reims will host Strasbourg. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Reims finally broke a storm of negativity, ending a prolonged 15-match winless streak in Ligue 1 (6 draws, 9 losses), which at that time was the longest in the championship. And they did it in style — in the last round, the team unexpectedly defeated one of the leaders, Marseille, with a score of 3-1. At the same time, they ended a six-match goal drought.
However, despite the loud victory, Reims failed to escape the danger zone — the team remains in 15th place, just two points ahead of the nearest chaser. Moreover, the home factor is clearly not on the club's side: in their last ten home matches, the team has secured only one victory, with three draws and six losses.
Strasbourg is racing up the table — their 4-2 win over Lyon in the 27th round marked their fourth consecutive victory in Ligue 1. The team confidently delivered their longest winning streak since February 2019, and their unbeaten run now counts seven matches (six wins and one draw).
This impressive run allowed Strasbourg to leap into the European competition zone, securing sixth place in the standings. It is also worth noting that Strasbourg claimed victories in their last three away games, not conceding a single goal in those encounters.
