In this week 26 match on Mar 5th, Ajaccio and Reims will play a match in Reims in a clash of the Ligue 1. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 4 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 10th placed Reims is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Toulouse. Junya Ito struck first for Reims in the 4th minute on a feed from Dion Lopy, then Marshall Munetsi added another in the 7th minute In the end, Toulouse was frustrated by Reims’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Reims ended the match with the shutout victory. Reims should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 17th placed Ajaccio, recorded a 2-1 win against Troyes. Mama Baldé scored the first goal for Troyes in the 23rd minute, then Youcef Belaïli tied it up for Ajaccio in the 62nd minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 68th minute on a goal by El Idrissy. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Stade François Coty, Reims was victorious by a score of 1 to 0 in front of a crowd of almost seven thousand spectators. Marshall Munetsi struck first for Reims in the 3rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Ajaccio was frustrated by Reims’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Reims ended the match with the shutout victory.
El Idrissy has been the most effective weapon for Ajaccio lately. The French attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches. Reims is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Jens Cajuste and Marshall Munetsi each having 2 goals in their last 5
William Still’s squad will be without Marshall Munetsi and Emmanuel Agbadou, while Yoann Touzghar, Fernand Mayembo and Riad Nouri are unavailable to play for Olivier Pantaloni’s team.
