Pau FC vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips (25 August)

Expected since its rise in Ligue 2 during the 2020 season in the cart of the descent, the Pau FC 3rd still manages to get out of it despite a very modest workforce, even for the L2. The Palois received a little reassuring training of Annecy during the first day during its preparation. At home the locals won this match on the score of 2 goals to 0 in order to take, after this first day, the head of the L2. On the road to Bastia who played her first game of the season last Friday, Pau was once again heroic by tearing a precious point 1-1 in a climate once again very tense. Finalist of the 2025 French Cup against PSG, then beaten by FC Metz in D1/D2 dam, the Reims stadium finds a lower level from which he would like to extricate as quickly as possible now. For his first of the season, at the end of the first day, the stadium moved to Amiens.

Reims 5th too confident after taking over the brand had been equalized in the 2-2 game stops. A draw to start before receiving a Guingamp forced to share the points against Le Mans. From the 09 'min of play under the Champagne sun, T.Teuma returning it found Diarra on a superb 1-0 service. The score will no longer move in a match generally well mastered by Reims. 

In this extremely hot match last week in Bastia, the meeting referee did not hesitate for a second following a big burst to expel Tom Ducrocq (Bastia) and Daylam Meddah (Pau) the summer recruit which had settled in the defensive number 6 post in the 4-3-3 of Nicolas Usai. It will be suspended at least for this day. In the defensive sector Les Recruits Briancon (Central) and Pouille (RC Lens), Touzghar (EAG) in the midfield. On the other hand in front, scorer facing Bastia Arconte, has just engaged with Rodez. If Sadik (uncertain, recruit) returns, he should take this place. Let us also recall the departures of Koudou (Mechelen, 1 million euros), Kamara (Lorient), a thousand (Troyes, 500,000th), Njoh (Viborg, 200,000th) and Ngom (Estrela Amadora). Beusnard returned to the bench when J2, when Gaspar remains outside group. Recruited from Clermont, holder on the right wing, Versini has not yet delivered a past or scored a goal. When we talk about Reims, you have to understand one thing, it is the most important market value with 70 million euros, it is 35 times more than Boulogne (2 and a half million) as a comparison.

That said, probably because the managers have not been reactive enough or in anticipation, the workforce may move, situations to decant. If Teuma (2 assists since the start of the year) seems to be back in the midfield, a boy like Nakamura holder last year and dismissed since the recovery should sign in Besiktas (nothing official at the moment). On the other hand, Koné (Neom), Diuof (Nice), Sangui (PFC), Diakhon (Bruges) and Ito (Genk) did not wait to leave the club. If Reims has kept a lot of good players, ready to stay one more year to try to get back into the elite (Okumu, Akiene etc), Pallois (ex-FC Nantes) settled behind, already captain. Released on injury, Okumu and Zabi are experiencing various fortunes: the central executive defender is forfeited this Saturday, when the young environment is announced available. Daramy, Fofana, Khadra and Salama remain injured. The probable compositions for Pau - Reims: Pau: Raveyre - Pouilly, Briançon, Ruiz, Kalulu - Bobichon, Meddah, Touzghar - Versini, Mboup, Zuliani.reims: Jaouen - Sekine, Koné, Pallois, Akieme - Demoncy (or Zaby), Gbane, Teumon, Siebatcheu, Bojang.
