Since their return to the French top-flight division in 2018/19, Reims easily secured survival and even secured Europe on one occasion. Unfortunately, The Red and Whites are having massive problems this season as they are in 15th place - only two points away from the relegation playout. To be fair, it did not look like they would get involved in the relegation battle. Still, after a good start to the season, they are now on the 14-winless streak in the Ligue 1. Their only good performances were in the Cup, where they secured the Semi-Finals. They were super-lucky with the draw as they will face Cannes, a third-tier team.
Marseille are one of the best teams in France. However, last season, they were terrible, finishing 8th and failing to serve Europe. This year, the popular Les Phocéens focused on domestic competition. While they got eliminated from the Cup, they are doing well in the league. Right now, they are in 2nd place with 49 points from 26 rounds. Yet, the top spot is out of the question, considering PSG is 19 points away. Their goal is to secure a top-three finish and appear in the Champions League next season, but several teams are only a few points away, and they have won points against these teams from the lower half of the league's table.
Reims vs Marseille pick: Under 2.5 goals
With 26 scored goals, Reims are tied for the third-worst offensive team. And in recent games, they really struggled to score, failing to do so in the last six consecutive Ligue 1 games. So, scoring against Marseille could definitely be a problem.
Marseille are in bad form, losing three of the last four games. During that four-game stretch, they scored just three goals - 0.75 per game. That is well below their season's average of more than two goals per game.
In the previous h2h game at Stade Auguste-Delaune, Reims won 1:0. Considering all the above, but especially both teams' terrible offensive performances, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Ligue 1 tie.

Marseille team news
In recent weeks, striker Mason Greenwood was criticized for the lack of effort by his coach, Roberto De Zerbi. Even though the 23-year-old is the team's top goalscorer (15 goals), he has until the end of the season to win his coach's trust, or he will be sold in the Summer.
Ruben Blanco, Amine Harit, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Faris Moumbagna, and Michael Murillo will remain sidelined with their injuries, while Chancel Mbemba will recover from his injury and should be available.
