Reims form and stats

4 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Reims have to build on here at Stade Auguste-Delaune II in the Ligue 1. Reims are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Auguste-Delaune II with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Brest match.

Reims haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 190 minutes ago. A. Flips scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager D. Guion led his Reims to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Paris Saint Germain. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Auguste-Delaune II. Midfield player Xavier Chavalerin got a match rating of 7.25 in that game, the max score being 10. Chavalerin had 53 successful passes (of 55 total). Reims were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Monaco that was lost 0-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Reims have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won six, drawn six and lost one.

Reims have scored 15 league goals here from 18 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
