I'll tell you what, this is a ticket you're not going to want to miss. We've got Stade de Reims squaring off against Auxerre in what is sure to be a display of mediocrity, if you catch my drift.
Donovan Léon has been keeping goal for Auxerre, racking up an almost avg rating of 6.80 and 9 saves this season. Whereas, pulling the glove duty for Reims' is Yehvann Diouf, who is smirking his way out of challenges with an impressive 7.17 rating and 16 saves.
Auxerre sports the triumvirate of Jubal, Gaëtan Perrin, and Clement Akpa, all who carry just about impressive ratings. Jubal and Perrin both roaring with 3 goals each, while Akpa's attempts at goals still appear to be stuck in traffic.
On the other edge of this clash, Reims applauds the performance of Joseph Okumu with a 7.37 rating, but the goals seem like they've declared a holiday from this lad. Mamadou Diakhon and Keito Nakamura, while they haven’t found the elusive net, did manage to get some shots on target recently.
The past tells us that these clashes usually end with no one leaving on a stretcher. The last meet saw Auxerre having a cakewalk with a 2-1 victory. Overall, both teams have had a see-saw battle with their recent games and an occasional 'peek-a-boo' in the winning zone.
Ultimately, the standings speak for themselves. Auxerre with 7 wins to Reims' 5, makes this about as one-sided as a coin with heads on both sides. Look, I don't know what else you want me to tell you here. You want a prediction, you got it:
