Team News

Reims
Strasbourg
  • Josh Wilson-Esbrand and Marshall Munetsi aren't expected to return from injury until the New Year.
  • Joseph Okumu and Keito Nakamura are both in the squad, but coming off of injury absences, are unlikely to be included from the off.
  • With Munetsi unavailable and Okumu a doubt, look for the hosts to revert to a 4-2-3-1.
  • With Marvin Senaya back from suspension, the visitors will have a near-complete squad save long-term absentee Fila.
  • Thomas Delaine is a doubt, having trained individually in the week. In the event of his absence, look for Senaya to start, with Guilbert playing at left-back.
  • Kévin Gameiro should keep his place after a man of the match performance against Marseille last weekend.

Prediction

  • Strasbourg are unbeaten in three and despite their lack of goalscoring prowess, have been a very tough team to break down this season. Only Marseille have a better defence in the bottom half.
  • Reims could also struggle here with their absences, particularly that of Munetsi, who has been vital to much of their improvement under Will Still.
