Reims vs Marseille Prediction 15.05.2024

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: 15.05.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stade Auguste-Delaune (Reims)

This is one of the two last matches of the 33rd round of the French Ligue 1. After this round, only one more round will be played and the competition is over. PSG is known as the new champion, Monaco is second and will be playing in the Champions League, while Lille and Brest are fighting for the third direct slot in the strongest European competition. Nice and Lens will probably be in the Europa League, while Marseille, along with Lyon, is the biggest loser this season. Currently, they are below the line of placement in European competitions and only two victories with the poor results of their rivals could bring them some gains.

Marseille made it to 8th place only in the last two rounds, with victories against Lorient and Lens. They easily lost in the semi-finals of the Europa League against Atalanta, so this season is generally bad for the former European champions.

Reims long ago achieved their primary goal, survival in Ligue 1, so it is not surprising to see a slightly worse form from them in the last few months. Reims have won just once in their last 9 matches in Ligue 1

Reims vs Marseille pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Reims matches are average in terms of efficiency, something less than 2.7 goals per match is certainly not low and Reims has shown that it can often engage in fast and interesting matches. Marseille has a slightly higher average but is significantly more efficient than their rivals, they have scored 50 goals in 32 matches played so far. In the first direct match of this season, Marseille won 2-1 and there could easily have been more goals.

There shouldn't be too much pressure here for both teams, maybe Marseille is a slight favorite, but there shouldn't be a shortage of goals. In the previous 3 matches of these teams, 11 goals were scored. Over 2.5 goals is a good bet
