Montpellier-Reims : Duel crucial for honour

Montpellier and Reims face each other this Sunday in a crucial duel

This Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 5:15 p.m., Montpellier and Reims fought an important battle on the lawn of the Stade de la Mosson. The two teams in the race have opposite dynamics before this crucial meeting of the 31st day of Ligue 1.

Montpellier, currently 18th with only 15 points, is close to relegation. The Hérault club won no victory in its last five games and faces seven absences for this game: Nikola Maksimovic, Oyedemi Maamma, Youssouf Issoufou, Arthur Gueguin, Nelson Injured Countries, and Andy Delort, Modibo Sagnan and Enock Tchato suspended. The situation is critical for Montpellier, which must solve a complex equation.

Facing them, Reims took 13th place with 32 points and posted excellent form, with four wins in five games. The Rémois scored eight goals and conceded only three in their last games. However, they will also have to do without Mikkel Daramy and Reda Khadra injured, as well as Joseph Okumu and Youssouf Fofana suspended.

Historically, the confrontations between Montpellier and Reims are balanced, with two wins for each team and one draw. This new opposition could shift in one direction or the other, but given recent performance, Reims seems to have the advantage.

The game will be broadcast live on DAZN this Sunday from 5:15 p.m. The stakes are immense for Montpellier, which struggles for honour and for a thin hope of preservation. Tension will be at its peak in this match where every mistake could cost money. The supporters of both sides will vibrate, encourage and hope for the best for their teams in search of glory or redemption.

See you at the Mosson for an assured suspense, because in football, nothing is ever acquired in advance. "
