Stade de Reims will welcome Lille to Stade Auguste-Delaune II on Saturday for a one-on-one Ligue 1 clash scheduled to kick off at 16:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Stade de Reims Looking to Close the Gap on Fifth-Placed Lille
Reims have won just once in their last five outings in League 1, drawing twice and losing twice in this run.
After a four-match winless run, Reims returned to winning ways last Sunday with a 1-2 win away to Le Havre, grabbing a last-gasp winner in the sixth minute of added time through Mohamed Daramy.
Playing at home, Reims will look to claim a scalp and close the gap to Lille, who are in fifth. Reims sit 8th on the Ligue 1 log with 34 points, four behind fifth-placed Lille with 38 points.
Lille Looking to Bounce Back to Winning Ways at Reims
Lille have been inconsistent in recent matches. The 4-0 win over Clermont Foot was followed with a 3-1 defeat at PSG, before the 3-0 win at home to Le Havre was followed by a 3-1 loss at Toulouse.
The inconsistent run in their last five has resulted in two wins, two defeats, and a draw; they have collected seven points in this run and dropped eight.
Heading into the weekend trip to Reims, LOSC Lille will focus on returning to winning ways; they will focus on their performance levels, tactical discipline, and intensity as they bid to win the match.
