OLYMPIQUE DE MARSEILLE
Despite some of the tentative results lately Olympique continues to be with enormous chances for the title, at least the experts say so. The fans of the team has been longing for that trophy and now, the boys of Marcelo Bielsa are required to defeat Reims at 'Stade Velodrome`. The new recruit Lucas Okampos, who arrived from Monaco has brought a point for his team against Rennes in the last round after having appeared as a backup. It is now expected the former teammate of Dimitar Berbatov to start the match at the expense of the wavering lately Romeen Alessandri. Andre Au has returned from the tournament for the Cup of African Nations and can already be used. The player, however, is likely to remain on the bench and will appear as needed after the break. The match with Reims misses Mario Lemina, who received a red card at the end of the match with Rennes and will be punished. Nicholas N `Kolu won`t be ready for the derby. The absence of the last two opens good positions for the Genus Fannie and Jacques Alexis-Romao.

REIMS
The Reds don`t have a single win in Ligue 1 in the calendar year 2015. For five games Jean-Luc Vasor`s boys have had no success, having lost four of the matches. However, Reims is stable in the middle of the table, but we must not allow the negative series to last long. The match will be difficult, but the Reds will try to hinder their famous opponent. Reims will be without the long-term absentees Sasha Bastejn, Jan Benedik, Brejon Kai and Mads Albek. The latter however resumes workouts during the week, but hardly will fall even in the group for Friday`s match. Jean-Luc Vasor can already count on the usual eleven players after the tournament for the cup of Nations is completed. That means good positions for Prince Oniange and Odair Fortes.
