Insights:
  • Reims II is in the worst form (0-1-5)

2-4-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Reims II when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 10-16 (scored/conceded).

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
