Well wedged in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1, Montpellier and Rémois did not have sufficient stakes, other than to stop a negative series, to offer a very satisfying spectacle this Sunday afternoon. It must be said that the summer heat did not give real arguments in favor of the effort. It was therefore on a false rhythm that the game started, the two teams competing in originality to chain technical blunders. You have to wait until the 20th minute to see Mitchell Van Bergen in depth. But his recovery did not endanger the Hérault goalkeeper. The best opportunity was to be credited to Jens Cajustwhich by taking up a good cross in overflow ofIlan Kebbalpushed Bertaud to the parade. Predrag Rajkovic was not outdone by leaving in extremis in front of Wahi while Marshall Munetsi missed his back pass.
The efforts made after the break were hardly more exciting, but the situations were more numerous, all the same. But the Rémois counter game still lacked realism, despite the percussion ofArber Zeneli, entered at the break. And neither the curling shot from Kebbal nor the long-range attempt from Cadjusted really endangered the Montpellier goalkeeper. His Reims counterpart, he had to remain vigilant against Wahi then Mavididi. Six games from the end, the Stade de Reims can see it coming. 13th in L1, it will be difficult to see much higher for Rémois also maintained. Failing to experience an exciting end to the season, Stade de Reims will be keen to perform during the gala matches that it still has to play at Delaune, starting with Lille and Marseille on Wednesday and Sunday.
