Reims vs Metz Prediction & Betting Tips (29 May)

This end of the season will have been particularly agitated on the side of the Stade de Reims which would probably have already preferred to wake up in the sun and enjoy the holidays like the vast majority of his championship colleagues. But the residents of Auguste Delaune must still fight to try to maintain themselves, they who ultimately only took the 16th final place in the ranking in Ligue 1 after an absolutely catastrophic end of the season marked by 3 losses of rank suffered against Nice 1-0, Saint-Etienne 0-2 and Lille 2-1. On the way out, the men of Samba Diawara did not particularly convince and had to resolve to concede the draw on the side of Saint-Symphorien against Metz 1-1 after a rather removed part where they even suffered at the end of the game. The Champenois will therefore have to redouble their efforts to avoid a huge disillusionment. And as if that were not enough, the Rémois confronted PSG on Saturday evening in the French Cup final where its chances of creating the feat seem particularly thin.

In the big regular in the elevator between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, FC Metz is still in the spot to try to find the elite next year, only a year after its descent. Despite a nice face displayed in the second part of the season, Stéphane Le Mignan's players had to resolve to spin their Lorient and Parisian competitors in Ligue 1 and they had to compete in the Ligue 2 dams to hope to continue their dream. Victorious against Laval 2-3 in a suspense match for the last day of the regular season, the Grenats then had to wait for additional time to get rid of Dunkirk in the 2nd round of the Play-Offs 1-0 thanks to a lucky goal. Finally, last Wednesday, the Lorraines were unable to get better than a draw at home in the first leg despite their slight domination in the game.

As in the first leg, the Rémois should be deprived of the usual long -term absent that are Daramy, Khadra and Fofana who also missed much of the season. A fallen captain, the Maltais international midfielder Teuma has been thrown away since the arrival of the new coach and he was even authorized to go on vacation by his management. Among the forces involved, we still find the formidable Japanese duo composed of international Nakamura (11 goals, 2 assists) and Ito (4 goals, 3 passes) which however lacked pep during the 1st round of this double confrontation. Last week, it was the central defender Kipré who had been able to equalize on a stopped kick. For the Grenats, the titular goalkeeper Bodart and The winger replacing Asoro will still have to pass their turn for this decisive meeting.

Otherwise, everyone is on deck for this last match of the season. Stéphane Le Mignan should, not surprisingly, renew his confidence in most of his usual executives. Among them, we can cite the experienced environment Deminguet, the side Udol (4 goals, 8 Places) and the scorer Sabaly (14 goals) in particular. The playing master of this training is of course the formidable Gauthier eh (12 goals, 6 passes decisive) and the Senegalese Diallo (7 goals) should also be in the starting 11.
