Reims vs Lens Analysis
Reims Preview
It has been a disappointing period for the home side coming into this round of matches in France. Reims were one of the most difficult teams to beat in Ligue 1 last term, but they have looked a shadow of that in recent weeks after losing each of their last two.
However, the Reims standings still see them sitting ninth in the table, and they could reignite their campaign with maximum points at home this weekend. A potential victory could see them move up to seventh and within two points of their rivals.
But, they will need a positive display, as the Ligue 1 team stats show them to have conceded five goals across their last two matches. Meanwhile, they have scored twice across their last three.
They were well below their usual high standards in the league last weekend after playing out a 2-0 defeat on the road against Lorient.
Lens Preview
Lens have enjoyed an excellent period in the French top flight across recent weeks, as they have taken full advantage of their rivals dropping points to move up to sixth in the standings. A victory this weekend could see them end the round in the Champions League positions.
The Lens scores have been very positive in recent matches, and they come into this round after winning each of their last three. Much of their success has been down to their dominant defenders in the Ligue 1 player stats, as they have allowed just 20 goals this term.
Their excellent defensive record has been highlighted in recent matches, as they have kept two clean sheets in their last three outings in Ligue 1.
Last weekend, they secured maximum points in front of their home fans after beating Strasbourg 3-1. Elye Wahi and David Costa were among the scorers in that victory.
Reims vs Lens Head to Head
Lens boast a very impressive record in this fixture, as they have gone nine without defeat against their rivals in the top-flight since 2014. Over that period, they have recorded five wins, which includes victories in each of the previous two.
