At the kickoff of the 29th day of Ligue 1, Stade de Reims welcomes Olympique de Marseille this Friday. Despite being the surprises of the season, Reims faces a tough challenge against OM.
Currently sitting in 7th place in the standings, Reims trails by three points behind fifth place, which could potentially secure a spot in Europe. A victory at Auguste-Delaune, where they have recently enjoyed success, could narrow this gap. The Champagne club now stands as a credible contender for a European berth, offering hope to its supporters.
However, Guadeloupean defender Mickaël Tacalfred adopts a cautious approach, considering his team as the underdog in this encounter. “OM plays a significant role in Europe. For us, it’s an added bonus. We’ll approach the game without pressure, focusing on playing our game,” he asserts. “We have everything to gain, while they have everything to lose. Our objective is to maintain our position in the top 10. It’s exciting to compete in these matches. It will be a prestigious encounter in a packed stadium.”
