The ASSE will face a single direct rival for its place in the elite on the last day of Ligue 1. The match between Reims and Saint-Étienne will be crucial for maintaining the Greens. The Champenois, who have had a promising start to the season but have since lost some of their superb, recently imposed themselves against Marseille and Lens, which distanced them from the area of relegation. However, they managed to reach the final of the Coupe de France, where they will face the PSG at the end of May.
The recent movements of ASSE to Reims have not been very happy for the Greens. Since their recovery in 2018-2019, ASSE has won only one game on Auguste Delaune’s lawn for three defeats. In the 2021-2022 season, Oscar Garcia’s men won 2-0 thanks to a goal by Nathanaël Mbuku. The previous season, Reims had won the 3-1 game, with former player of Saint-Étienne Mathieu Cafaro who had won. In 2019-2020, ASSE was beaten on the same score.
To hope for a continuation, ASSE will therefore go to Reims for the last day of Ligue 1. This meeting will take place on Saturday, May 10, at 9 p.m., along with the other eight games of this day. It will be broadcast in full by Bein Sports and the multiplex will be provided by DAZN.
