Reims vs Toulouse Prediction & Betting Tips (4 February)

Reims has real qualities to showcase this season and is among the teams capable of being a troublemaker in the race for European places. A little more than halfway through this exercise, Will Still's men are actually in 6th position in the ranking with only 2 units behind 5th place and 5 on the podium. Victorious before the break in front of Le Havre 1-0, the Champenois then restarted 2024 well by winning at Monaco 1-3 before being held to a draw last week by FC Nantes 0-0. In the meantime, they were eliminated from the Coupe de France on penalties by Sochaux. Victorious in the Coupe de France last year, Toulouse has already offered itself a European epic which continues in the 2nd part of the season .

TFC will indeed face Benfica in the Europa League play-offs within ten days. On the other hand, it is more complicated for this team in Ligue 1 where it is struggling to widen the gap on the relegation zone and where it only occupies 14th place in the ranking with only one point ahead of the red zone. After being able to bring back a very important success from Metz 0-1, the Violets were eliminated from the Coupe de France by Rouen on penalties and they were dominated by Lens last week in the championship 0-2.

At the moment, the Rémois are still deprived of the Belgian right-back Busi and the young midfielder Atangana Edoa. In addition, the young Ivorian Diakité (2 goals) and the Guinean defender Diakité are still in the selection with whom they are competing in the CAN but the Moroccans Abdelhamid (3 goals) and Richardson (3 goals, 1 assist) could be back after having been eliminated at the start of the week. At the same time, the Japanese Nakamura (2 goals, 1 assist) is playing in the Asian Cup. His compatriot Ito (2 goals, 4 assists) left the selection after a sexual assault case but he will be absent this Sunday. This winter, midfielder Matusiwa signed with Stade Rennais while striker Salama was loaned to Caen. The latter was replaced numerically by striker Akieme, who arrived from Almeria this week. The former Parisian and Montpellier Stambouli has also arrived. On the other hand, the precious Teuma (5 goals, 2 assists) or the young Dane Daramy (2 goals, 4 assists) will be there.

The long-term injured Moroccan Aboukhlal (3 goals), the international Australian Genreau and the little used Keben will not be traveling to Delaune. The important Logan Costa and Moussa Diarra are still at the CAN but  Franck Magri (4 goals) could make a comeback after being eliminated this week with Cameroon. The neo-international Dutch Dallinga who is the top scorer of this formation with 5 achievements in Ligue 1 and 10 in all competitions, should start for him. Not really in his coach's plans, striker Begraoui was loaned to Pau again. The little-used Bangré (Troyes), Zanden (Randers FC), Serber (Botev Vratsa) and Hamulic (Lokomotiv Moscow) have also sought playing time elsewhere on loan. Winger Babicka is him arrived from Aris Limassol and winger Gboho from Cercles Bruges.
