Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Having shared the spoils with Olympique Lyon at the weekend, Reims will look to climb to the Conference League berth when they face Lens on Matchday 13. Les Rouges et Blancs are after their third home win of the process, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the match as well. The good news for the hosts is that important defender Emmanuel Agbadou returns from suspension.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Olympique Marseille. Lens have been struggling to find their best form of late and given Reims’ signs of improvement in recent weeks, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. It has to be noted that the two sides shared the spoils in their last meeting at Stade Auguste-Delaune. The likes of Aguilar, Bane, Cabot, Said, and Satriano miss out 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.
