This weekend sees action continue in France’s Ligue 1, with Strasbourg hosting Reims at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday.
Just one place separates these two sides, with Reims in 14th and Strasbourg in 15th. Both teams have 24 points to their name.
Strasbourg vs Reims Head-to-Head
After falling to defeat in their final two matches of 2020, Strasbourg have gotten off to an absolute flyer in the new year.
They won their first three games of 2021, beating Nimes, Lens and Saint-Etienne without conceding a single goal in the process.
However, last weekend saw them frustrated by struggling Dijon, who equalized midway through the second half to secure a 1-1 draw.
Overall though, Strasbourg have lost just two of their last 10 games.
Reims have been on an equally impressive run of late. They’ve suffered just one defeat in their last seven matches, and that came against high-flying Lille.
Most recently, they defeated Brest 1-0, meaning they’ve taken 14 points from a possible 21 since 16 December.
Recent results between these two teams have been largely mixed. Of the last six games, Reims have taken two – including a 2-1 win in November – and Strasbourg have taken two.

Strasbourg vs Reims Prediction
This is a really close game to call, as both sides have been on a solid run and have looked defensively sound recently.
Reims are perhaps the more dangerous attacking unit, but Strasbourg have proven tricky to break down in recent weeks.
We expect to see a low-scoring draw in this encounter.
