Reims vs Lille Match Analysis & Prediction
06/05/2023 8:00 pm
Reims and Lille square off in a Ligue 1 match on Saturday night at the Stade Auguste-Delaune as the race for Europe heats up.
Last time out, Will Still’s team lost for the third time in a row, this time to Clermont by a score of 1-0, while Les Dogues defeated basement-dwelling Ajaccio by a score of 3-0.
The powers of Still, who once led Reims to cult hero status in France and abroad, have since diminished, and Clermont recently handed Les Rouges et Blancs their third straight loss at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied.
Last Saturday, Grejohn Kyei’s fourth-minute tap-in was all required to divide the two teams. But, unfortunately, Reims failed to convert their 67% possession and 13 shots into anything of note and, as a result, slipped further behind in the race for continental football.
Remy Cabella, who was born and raised in Ajaccio, felt bad for his local team after his outstanding individual performance in the win at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy last weekend put them even more at risk of being relegated.
After first setting up Andre Gomes with two assists, the first of which was a long-range goal that was a peach, Cabella added the last flourish with 37 remaining to end the match before the halftime siren.

Reims Team News
Due to an accumulation of yellow cards, Reims defender Emmanuel Agbadou, who made a key goal-line clearance to maintain the score at 1-0 last weekend, must serve a ban this weekend. As a result, Cheick Keita should fill in alongside experienced captain Yunis Abdelhamid.

Lille Team News
Tiago Djalo, who tore his ACL, is still out for Lille, and Adam Ounas and Gabriel Gudmundsson have also been ruled out due to minor muscular problems.
Gudmundsson, who played only 53 minutes in the victory against Ajaccio, is anticipated to give way to Ismaily. In contrast, Jose Fonte, who should replace Yoro in the backline, is anticipated to regain his spot.
