Trying to decrease the distance up to the top sides is the subject when these mid-table sides fight it out. Both will be aiming to better their league table standing, Reims in 11th and Nice in 10th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Reims and Nice.
