Brest vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips (10 May)

Whatever happens, this 2023-2024 season will be remembered by Stade Brestois since it is by far the best performance achieved by the Breton club in the elite. 3rd at the start of this 33rd day, Eric Roy's men still maintain a 2-point lead over 4th, Lille, and they are therefore still ideally placed to try to win their first ticket for the Champions League. Be careful though of the blow for the Finistériens who have only won one of their last 4 championship matches. Beaten in quick succession by Lyon 4-3 and Monaco 0-2, the club from the city of Ponant then found a smile again by winning an anthology derby against Stade Rennais 4-5. But last weekend, he was unable to force the 0-0 Nantes lock at home and he therefore missed a great opportunity to make the break in the race for the podium. On the other hand, this end of the season is turning into chaos for the Stade de Reims which completely ruined all the great things achieved in the first part of the season which could have allowed it to play in Europe.

Unable to win a single match over the last 5 days, the Champenois were held in check by Lyon 1-1 and Nice 0-0 before stringing together 3 defeats in a row against Strasbourg 3-1, Montpellier 1-2 and above all Clermont 4-1, in their last match. This bad series led to the departure of the coach, Will Still, in the last few days. Samba Diawara will take over until the end of the season. In the standings, the Rémois are now in 12th position but they are one game behind most of their competitors after the postponement of their planned match against OM last week.

With the return of rather replacement defender Le Cardinal who was suspended last week, everyone could have been on deck on the Brest side this week, but coach Eric Roy will have to do without his manager Lees Melou (4 goals), quite seriously injured this week, and top scorer Del Castillo (8 goals, 7 assists). We will still find the rather fit Uruguayan Satriano (5 goals), the formidable Mounié (6 goals) and the solid midfielders Doumbia (6 goals), and Camara (5 goals) in midfield. On the Stade de Reims side, the valuable striker Daramy (4 goals, 5 assists), the young midfielder Atangana Edoa and the defender Okumu (starter) will not be able to make the long journey to Francis Le Blé, injured. To this we add that the fairly important defender of Smet will be suspended after being sent off against Clermont.

Return of replacement defender Busi, however. Otherwise, the new Champagne coach will be able to count on very good elements like the midfielders Teuma (6 goals, 3 assists) and Stambouli, the Ivorian striker Oumar Diakité (5 goals) and the Japanese Ito (3 goals, 6 assists) and Nakamura (4 goals, 1 assist).
