Reims, Recent FormReims boss Will Still will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Lyon. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Lyon managed 22 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Still will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Folarin Balogun will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 20 goals in Reims' 37 league games this season.
Montpellier, Recent FormThe 3-2 home defeat to Nice will not have sat easily with the Montpellier squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Nice's tally of 23 efforts at goal, 15 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games away from home.
Elye Wahi will be hoping to create problems for Reims in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Montpellier.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Montpellier has had a poor run of results against Reims, drawing their last 4, but having not won any of their last 7 meetings.
Reims manager Will Still has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kamory Doumbia (Muscle), Myziane Maolida (Ankle) and Mitchell van Bergen (Broken wrist) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian ahead of this clash, with Béni Makouana (Thigh) missing out, which gives Der Zakarian a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
