Olympique Marseille vs Stade Reims Prediction and Betting Tips | August 25 2024
Ligue 1 returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Olympique Marseille and Stade Reims square off at Orange Velodrome on Sunday (August 25). Both sides head into the weekend off contrasting opening-day results, with Luka Elsner’s Reims suffering a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to LOSC Lille.
Meanwhile, Mason Greenwood announced his arrival in Ligue 1 with a bang, netting a brace to fire Marseille to a 5-1 victory over Stade Brestois in their season opener last Saturday.
That followed an impressive run of results in pre-season, where Roberto De Zerbi’s side lost one of five warm-up games, winning three.
Marseille will look to secure European football after finishing eighth last season, one point behind seventh-placed Lens in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Reims, meanwhile were denied a dream start to the season, as they fell to a 2-0 loss to Lille at the Stade Auguste Delaune on Saturday. Before that, Elsner’s men enjoyed a decent pre-season campaign, winning thrice in seven matches, scoring 10 goals and keeping two clean sheets.
Reims, though, are winless in five visits to the Orange Velodrome, losing twice, since a 2-0 defeat in August 2019.
