Nervous Reims take relegation battle to the Stade de La Meinau to face RC Strasburg
It was a humbling defeat at the hands of Clermont Foot for Oscar Garcia’s men in their last match, they will be hoping to get something out of this game for sure.
Also, Oscar Garcia may ponder the reasons why his Reims team are struggling at the bottom of the table this season. But two defeats out of the last two meetings, should be all the analysis that he really needs. With no points, they currently sit twentieth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 0 wins, 2 losses and 0 draws having lost two meetings.
Playing away from home, Reims have lost one game.
Good Attacking Performance
They have a good scoring stats of three goals (1 from open play and two penalties). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Folarin Balogun (2), Wout Faes (1), and Kamory Doumbia (1). Oscar Garcia will know the risks of constantly leaking goals throughout the season, with eight goals conceded so far. He needs to find a way to shore-up the defence, in order that opponents are unable to take advantage of this.
Reims are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Oscar Garcia is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without six of his key players
