Marseille vs Reims Soccer Betting Tips – Ligue 1
What reaction for Olympique de Marseille?
Travelling to Rennes this Wednesday on behalf of the 13th day, the Phocéens lost in particular circumstances. Dominators and quite clearly above their opponents during the first half-hour, André Villas-Boas’ men logically opened the scoring and could have led 2 or even 3-0 when Pape Gueye, author of the opening the scoring, was sent off for a second yellow card in the 35th minute. A red card that completely changes the game, even if the numerical inferiority did not justify that OM retreat to this point and stop offering the game definitively.
Finally beaten (1-2), the Marseillais will certainly be keen to bounce back and start again on a good series, they who remained on 6 successes in a row before this setback. Saturday at 7 p.m., OM will host the Stade de Reims for this goal at the Stade Vélodrome while the Rémois have just returned to victory against Nantes (3-2). Led by the score, David Guion’s men managed to turn the tide but still remain non-relegation first with 13 small points, only 2 more than the 18th and 14 less than his future opponent!
