Ligue 1 2024-2025: Reims-Nice, the likely formations

Reims-Nice, the probable formations

Saturday at 7 p.m., the Stade Auguste-Delaune will be the scene of the challenge between Reims and Nice, valid for the 17th day of Ligue 1. A confrontation between two teams with opposite moods: Reims seeks to regain success after a complicated period, while Nice aims to consolidate its position in the race for the Champions League.

The 11th place in the standings and the absence of victories for five games (3 draws and 2 defeats) photograph Reims’ difficult moment. Elsner’s team risks getting dangerously close to the relegation zone, which is only five points away.

Nice è in great form, with only one defeat in the last four months and a convincing 3-2 win over Rennes on the last day. Franck Haise’s team has definitely put the difficult start of the season behind it and now dreams of a Champions League spot.

Probable lineups

Reims (4-3-3): Diouf; Buta, Kipré, Okumu, Akieme; Atangana, Am. Koné, Munetsi; Ito, Diakité, Nakamura. Coach: Elsner
Nice (4-2-3-1): Bulka; Clauss, Ndayishimiye, Abdelmonem, Bard; Boudaoui, Ndombélé; Guessand, Bouanani, Diop; Laborde. Coach: Haise
