14th- against 8th spot might not sound all that tempting to look into. But: Here's the knowledge that makes Reims - Angers SCO (even) more appealing!
- Reims have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Angers SCO have scored in all their away matches so far.
It's no vacation for neither Reims nor Angers SCO as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Reims form and stats
The overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Reims are 2-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).
A good away victory last time out for Reims, who won 2-1 against Olympique Lyonnais (placed 10th). Manager Ó. García Junyent felt very clever after Hugo Ekitike scored the winning goal against Olympique Lyonnais, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 71st minute. A late climax in the match against Olympique Lyonnais as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Hugo Ekitike. Wout Faes was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.52 out of 10. The defender Faes scored one goal and won 1 of 1 duels.
Before that, Reims had a home game versus Clermont which ended with a victory 1-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 1 win, 6 draws and 1 defeat. It's three draws from Angers's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
