Marseille

Marseille showed a good result last season, the team finished third in Ligue 1, earning a solid 73 points. In the French Cup, Marcelino's wards showed a more modest result, finishing their performances in the quarterfinals. But in Europe, the "white-and-blue" frankly failed, the team played in the group stage of the Champions League, but in the end they could not get into the playoffs , becoming the last one.

In the summer, the "Provencals" took part in 4 friendly matches, having obtained 2 victories in them. In the last match, Marseille was defeated by Bayer 1:2.

Reims failed to catch on to high places in the championship again, the team finished only in 11th position. The failed ending was to blame for everything, when in 10 meetings the Red-Whites managed to earn only 8 points. The club also performed unsuccessfully in the French Cup, losing in the 1/8 finals of Toulouse 1:3.

During the off-season, Will Still's guys had an active preparation, participating in 6 friendly matches, getting 5 wins in them5. In the last test match, Reims broke the resistance of Torino 2:1.

Game Totals Prediction

Marseille aims to fight for the title in the new season, for this you need to play consistently and strongly in every league game. Reims is in the middle of Ligue 1, the team is able to produce strong results in segments, but the guests cannot do this on an ongoing basis due to limited personnel potential. In the opening game of the championship, I think the hosts will be able to take three points, the "Provencals" at home always act at a high level: Marseille's victory - 1.64.
