Match preview: Reims vs Saint-Étienne
Reims and Saint-Étienne face off at Stade Auguste-Delaune II in a crucial match for the 33rd round of Ligue 1. The last meeting between these teams ended in a 3-1 win for Saint-Étienne at home on 4 January 2025. Recent encounters have favoured the home team, who have secured 2 wins and 1 loss in their last 3 clashes. The home/away form is an essential factor to note, as both teams display markedly different results depending on where they play.
Team analysis: Reims
The home side currently sits in 13th place with 33 points, comprising 8 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses. In their most recent outing, they drew 0-0 with Montpellier, followed by a 1-0 loss against Nice. Interestingly, Reims tends to perform better away from home, registering 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring 13 and conceding 16 goals, compared to their home stats of 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, with 16 goals scored and 21 conceded. They have managed only 2 wins from their last 10 home league matches, accumulating 8 points from a possible 30. The attacking unit is struggling, having failed to score in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Moreover, in their home matches, there is a trend of low-scoring games, with fewer than 3 goals in 10 of their last 16 fixtures. Out of 32 games in this league, they have conceded the first goal in 19 instances and have managed to turn the result around only twice.
Stade Reims enters this matchup after a 1-0 defeat on the road to Nice. At home, they generally adopt a balanced 4-3-3 formation, which combines defensive solidity with rapid transitions into attack. Key players such as Keito Nakamura, Junya Ito, and Jordan are consistently poised to threaten opposition defences. The attacking focus predominantly falls on the right flank, with defender Aurélio Buta providing depth and pace during offensive plays. Missing this match due to injuries will be Reda Khadra and Mohamed Daramy.
Team analysis: Saint-Étienne
The away side is currently in 17th place with 27 points, recording 6 wins, 6 draws, and 19 losses. Their recent results include a 3-1 defeat to Strasbourg and a 3-1 loss at home to Monaco. Less effective on the road, they have recorded 3 draws and 12 losses in their last 30 matches as away players, contrasting with 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses at home. In the league, Saint-Étienne has only managed to gather 2 points from the last possible 30, having drawn twice and lost 8 times on their travels.
It’s noteworthy that they haven’t won away from home in 15 matches in this competition. Defensively, they have struggled significantly, conceding in all of their last 10 fixtures, although their attack has been relatively consistent, scoring in 9 of those games. In 31 matches, they have been the first to concede in 22 instances and have achieved only 1 comeback from behind.
Saint-Étienne approaches this match lacking motivation after their 1-3 defeat to Monaco, with their sole goal scored by Zuriko Davitashvili. The visitors tend to line up in a dynamic 4-3-3 formation, relying on the pace of their wingers to create opportunities. Attackers Zuriko Davitashvili, Djylian n’Guesan, and Irvin Cardona are key to their offensive strategy, consistently looking to increase tempo. On the right, Dennis Appiah is pivotal in their attacking flows. Eirik Horneland will be without Pierre Cornud, Augustine Boakye, and Benjamin Bouchouari for this encounter, as they are all sidelined by injury.
