There are matches like that, which are enviable on paper. And this duel between the two best teams in the Grand Est in the standings is part of it. In a Delaune stadium which will be a little fuller than usual, with a delegation of Alsatian supporters, and the first days of spring supposed to attract crowds, the Stade de Reims will try to continue its momentum. The Rémois remain on two good performances punctuated by a draw against Brest and a success in Monaco. Deprived of important elements, the team was able to adapt and react and above all to exist. With this precious success in Monaco last Sunday which paved the way for a slightly more serene maintenance. This Sunday, as against Monaco last Sunday, the Rémois will have a lot to do with a Strasbourg team which has taken on another dimension this season. The Alsatians are 5th and have every intention of inviting themselves into the fight for Europe. For this meeting, the Reims coach Oscar Garcia will finally be able to count on some returns from injury. Jens Cajuste, Anastasios Donis and Moreto Cassama are in the group. Ghislain Konan, an uncertain time, is present. And of course, the Reims captain, Yunis Abdlelhamidis back from suspension after having served two suspension matches, following his expulsion from Nantes.
