Reims Preview: Distracted by the cup

Stade de Reims come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Nice at the Allianz Riviera in their most recent outing down on the south coast last weekend due to a 15th minute winner scored by former Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Sanson.

Samba Diawara replaced Luka Elsner in mid-February and Reims have been much-improved since his appointment as they prepare for the Coupe de France final against Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade de France later this month.

Saint-Etienne Preview: ASSE going down

Despite Eirik Horneland, who replaced former Montpellier Herault boss Olivier Dall’Oglio in January, managing to get some fight out of his Saint-Etienne side in recent weeks, the Greens have are now set to have their relegation mathematically confirmed.

They begin the final two games of the season now sitting four points behind Le Havre in the relegation playoff place and five adrift of Nantes with just six points to play for. They were beaten 3-1 by Monaco at Stade Geoffrey-Guichard last weekend.

Reims vs Saint-Etienne Prediction

Stade de Reims had started the season well before entirely collapsing under the Slovenian coach Elsner but they have since improved once again under Diawara as they push towards the middle-of-the-table. They can mathematically relegate a sorry Saint-Etienne side this weekend and that would actually appear quite likely as ASSE appear to have given up all hope with two wins needed as well as results going their way elsewhere.
