Their average of 1.0 goal scored per game in the last five matches demonstrates a need for greater offensive output, though they have managed one clean sheet during this period.

They defeated Lyon 4-2 and Toulouse 2-1 at home, followed by a solid 1-0 away win against Nantes. Strasbourg's defense has been particularly impressive, conceding only 0.4 goals on average in their last five matches and keeping three clean sheets, indicating a strong defensive unit that could be crucial in their upcoming fixture.

Final Prediction

Reims appears to have a slight advantage due to their home advantage and recent strong performance against a top-tier team like Marseille. However, Strasbourg's solid form and defensive prowess could pose significant challenges for Reims. Key players from Strasbourg's defense will be pivotal in keeping Reims' attack at bay, and fans should keep an eye on how Reims attempts to break through this resilient backline.
