Prediction: 1-1
Lens
Stade Auguste-Delaune will host Sunday’s football game between Reims and Lens, the two top-table sides. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Toulouse and Lorient, but they will have a big fish to fry against the in-form visitors. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Oumar Diakite is back to contention after winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast. Defender Thibault De Smet is sidelined through suspension, while both Atangana Edoa and Maxime Busi are out of contention through injuries.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the French top flight. As Lens have improved offensively of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Deiver Machado and Jimmy Cabot are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

Highlighted Team (Reims):
Reims are a French football club founded in 1931. Reims welcome their rivals at Stade Auguste Delaune, which can hold up to 21,684 people. Believe it or not, Reims won six Ligue 1 titles (1948/1949, 1952/1953, 1954/1955, 1957/1958, 1959/1960, 1961/1962). To make things even better for the fans, Reims participated in the European Cup final on two occasions.
In 1956 they faced Real Madrid in the title game and despite taking the lead after six minutes, the French side eventually suffered a 4-3 loss to los Blancos at Parc des Princes. Three years later Reims had a chance to get their revenge on Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants once again won the European Cup, with Mateos and Di Stefano finding the net in the 2-0 victory over Albert Batteux.
The club’s most notable footballer is Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals for France at the 1958 FIFA World Cup finals. Reims’ home colours are red and white, with the team wearing white when playing on the road.
