On the 01.09.2024 the match between Reims and Rennes will take place at the “Stade Auguste-Delaune II”.
First of all, from the fundamentals of the team, Reims, as a veteran team in the French Ligue 1, was founded in 1931 and has a rich historical heritage and a certain fan base. Its home stadium, the Auguste de Lorna, can accommodate 21,684 spectators, creating a good home atmosphere for the team. Reims has performed steadily recently, and the team’s market value has reached 118 million euros, showing its activeness in the transfer market and the strengthening of the team’s overall strength. They have been promoted to the First Division four times and won the French Ligue 1 championship six times. These honors have undoubtedly added confidence to the team.
On the other hand, Stade Rennes is also a strong rival that cannot be ignored. Rennes has performed strongly in the French Ligue 1 in recent years and is currently at the top of the standings, with a chance to compete for a Champions League spot. The team’s morale is high, and its home record is particularly good. So far this season, there has been only one defeat at home, and the rest have remained undefeated, showing a strong home combat capability. At the same time, Rennes has strong offensive firepower. In the first 16 rounds of the league, only one game failed to score. The forward firepower is second only to Paris Saint-Germain, making it the second strongest offensive line in Ligue 1.
However, Rennes also faces some challenges. The unexpected loss to Reims in the first game after the World Cup has frustrated the unbeaten momentum, which may affect the morale and confidence of the players. In addition, the injuries of key players such as midfielder Baptiste, right back Lorenz and front midfielder Desire Tour are also worrying. Their absence may weaken the overall strength of the team.
Judging from the historical records of the two teams, the two sides are evenly matched and have their own wins and losses. But considering Rennes’ strong dominance at home and its recent good form, and Reims’ lack of sufficient stability despite its good strength, Rennes is more likely to have the upper hand in this game. However, football matches are often full of variables, and Reims’ home advantage and perseverance are also factors that cannot be ignored.
In summary, it is predicted that Rennes will win the away game with its strong offensive firepower and fighting spirit, but it is also possible that Reims will use its home advantage to create trouble for the opponent and even get a surprise. Therefore, fans can expect a tense and suspenseful game. We will have to wait and see what the final result will be.
