Reims vs Lens Prediction

Reims look in good shape before their upcoming match, as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first split the points with Strasbourg in a 1-1, before also drawing 1-1 with Lyon. A win finally came their way as they threw Angers under the bus in a 2-4 victory. Reims claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Ligue 1, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored eight and conceded 12 goals.

Aiming for a season well away from the relegation-line Reims are continually collecting enough points to look comfortable.

In their last three matches, Lens first beat Monaco 1-4, then Rennes by 2-1 and finally Lorient by 5-2. Lens performed a very admirable four wins in six Ligue 1 away matches, as well as two draws but no defeats. They scored 12 times, while also conceding five goals.

Lens have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Ligue 1 this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other, and with both Reims and Lens scoring freely over the past weeks, we expect a highly entertaining match.
