The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Reims at their home stadium (Stade Auguste-Delaune II) is 5 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

Reims's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Lille (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Some amazing scenes last match, when Abdelhamid scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time. Abdelhamid was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.45 out of 10. The defender Abdelhamid scored one goal and won 3 of 8 duels.

0-0 away at Montpellier before that.
