Prediction: 2-1
Reims
Lens will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over St Etienne when they face Reims in the opening match of Ligue 1 round 29. Les Sang et Or are after their third consecutive win at home, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Forward Goduine Koyalipou is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against les Verts, while both Frankowski and El Aynaoui are banned for the match.
Les Rouge et Blancs, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Strasbourg and with Lens turning their Stade Bollaert-Delelis into a real fortress, home win should definitely be considered. Midfielder Mory Gbane misses out through suspension, while all Maxime Busi, Yaya Fofana, Mohamed Daramy, and Reda Khadra are injured for the visiting team. In the first half of the season, Lens defeated Reims 2-0.
