Stade Reims vs Olympique Marseille Prediction
Reims are on a six-game winless streak and have won just two of their last 15 games across all competitions. They have won just one of their last seven home games and could struggle here.
Marseille's latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and will be looking to build on that this week. They are, however, without a win in their last six away matches and may have to settle for a point here.
Prediction: Stade Reims 1-1 Olympique Marseille
