Strasbourg vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips (8 December)

Strasbourg is doing badly. The Alsatian club is falling in the rankings after losing its last 4 matches. Pushed to its limits by Saint-Etienne 2-0, Monaco 1-3, Nice 2-1 and Brest 3-1, Liam Rosenior's team completed a cataclysmic November and approaches this match on the 14th day with the label of 13th in the ranking, with a small point ahead of the virtual barrage. Racing nevertheless remains serious on its ground. He recorded 3 wins and 2 draws, for one loss, in 6 receptions.

 The locals of the day took no points in November and Reims pocketed 4 out of 12, then at Le Havre 0-3 before the international break and at home in front of Lyon 1-1 for the return of the championship. Since then, the Marne club has signed a new reception but was no match for Lens 0-2 on the last day. These results make Stade de Reims 9th in the standings with 18 points. Luka Elsner's players are much closer to the European places than the relegation zone. 

For this Meinau poster, Strasbourg should find its striker Emegha. The player with 3 goals in Ligue 1, absent for a month and a half, returned to collective training this week. His possible return would do the greatest good for Strasbourg still without replacement goalkeeper Bellaarouch, striker Sahi Dion (no match) and left back Wiley, often kept in the infirmary and injured in a shoulder. Liam Rosenior could also once again be without important defender Sylla and midfielder Doukouré while experienced full-back Delaine (no matches) is in the recovery phase. In full doubt, the Strasbourg coach changed his playing system over the last three matches. Reims travels without defender Abd. Koné who can play supporting roles nor the midfielder Khadra absent for several more months and the Danish offensive Daramy (replacement) whose season is probably over.

These elements were recently joined on the flank by defender Okumu who has made 7 starts this season and full-back Busi, not yet used. Both men are uncertain for this part. Stade de Reims has only scored one goal in the last 3 days of Ligue 1, the work of Diakité (4 goals). The prolific Nakamura, author of 6 goals since the start of the year, is experiencing a downturn. He has scored once in the last 5 matches.
