The Ligue 1 match between Olympique Marseille and Stade Reims on March 29, 2025, presents an intriguing scenario for both teams. Marseille, currently positioned second in the league, is striving for Champions League qualification despite a recent dip in form, having lost three of their last four matches . In contrast, Reims finds itself languishing in 15th place with a staggering winless streak of 15 league matches. This disparity in form suggests that Marseille holds a significant advantage heading into the fixture.
Reims played Brest on their travels in their last game. It was a 0-0 draw at Stade Francis le Ble. The Champagne-Ardenne team ended up with just 29% possession and had two shots on target.
Marseille have been defeated in back-to-back games. Away from home, they recently suffered a 3-1 loss against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes. OM recorded two shots on goal and had 40% possession, with Amine Gouiri finding the net.
Reims are on the brink of equaling an unwanted record. The last time they failed to win 16 straight league matches was back in 1978. They go into this match having last won a league game in November.
That was 15 matchdays ago. In that period they suffered nine defeats and also failed to score in nine of those 16 matches.
While they come here as favorites, Marseille are winless in the last two matches against Reims. Les Phoceens needed a late Mason Greenwood goal to secure a point in the reverse fixture, which ended 2-2.
Reims possible starting lineup: Diouf; Sekine, Okumu, Kipre, Akieme; Gbane, Atangana, Am Kone; Ito, Ibrahim, Nakamura
Marseille possible starting lineup: Rulli; Lirola, Balerdi, Cornelius; Luis Henrique, Bennacer, Kondogbia, Dedic; Greenwood, Gouiri, Rabiot
Historically, Marseille has dominated this matchup with a favorable head-to-head record against Reims. The prediction indicates a potential victory for Marseille by a scoreline of 3-0. Additionally, while both teams have found the net frequently in their encounters—seven out of the last nine matches featuring goals from both sides—Marseille's current struggles may present an opportunity for Reims to exploit any defensive lapses .
As fans prepare for this clash, many will seek options for free streaming to follow the action live. However, current sources do not provide specific details on how to access such streams. The expectation remains that Marseille will capitalize on Reims' vulnerabilities and secure crucial points in their pursuit of European football next season.
