Marseille vs Reims Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Ligue 1 2024-25

Matchday 2 of the new Ligue 1 season is set to be underway

Marseille were very impressive as they defeated Brest by a 5-1 scoreline and they now welcome Reims to Stade Velodrome this weekend. In the previous match, Marseille played a brilliant game as they completely dominated the game and got the first three points of the season. Roberto de Zerbi will be very happy with his team’s performance as they were able to play some brilliant football and surely they will aim for the Ligue 1 title this season for sure.

Stade de Reims parted away with their manager Will Still and he was replaced by Luka Elsner who had performed extremely well at Le Havre. Facing Marseille at Stade Velodrome will be a very difficult task and this will be a big test for Elsner’s men who will have to give their all if they want something positive from the match. This will be an exciting fixture for sure.

Players to Watch

Amine Harit (Marseille)

He is an excellent dribbler and likes to dribble past defenders to create a goal-scoring chance for the team, technically is one of the best in the league as he is one of the most fouled players and it is very difficult for defenders to stop him as with his speed and agility he can overcome most of the challenges. His ability to break defences with his through ball is also really good, he will be a threat for Reims for the upcoming match for sure.

Junya Ito (Reims)

He is not heavily involved in the build-up of attacks, rather his primary role is to use his off-the-ball movement to be in a position to finish off attacks when the chance arises. He is a very intelligent player who quite often changes his position with his teammate, he is also really good at breaking defences is comfortable on the ball and likes to take on opponents in 1v1 battles. With his pinpoint crosses, he creates a lot of goalscoring chances for his team consistently.

Match Prediction by Marseille vs Reims

It will be a big task for Reims to face Marseille away from home as the atmosphere is very hostile and away teams struggle to perform there. De Zerbi’s men are looking good, as in the previous match they performed well and will be the favourites to win this upcoming fixture, the home team will win this match and will get all three points.
