Lens, Recent FormLens manager Franck Haise will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Montpellier. They achieved 66% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Montpellier's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Haise will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches overall.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
Reims, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Nice will have left the Reims squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 14 of their 15 games this season.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Reims recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Teddy Teuma will be looking to cause Lens some problems having scored 3 goals in Reims' last 6 away games in the league.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Reims who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Lens.
Goals should be on the cards for Lens in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Les rouges et blancs in their last 7 meetings together.
Playing at home, Lens have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Reims in the league.
Florian Sotoca will be feeling confident of netting goals for Lens in this one against Reims with his scoring record of 4 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Lens manager Franck Haise has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ruben Aguilar (Foot), Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament), Wuilker Faríñez (Cruciate ligament), Déiver Machado (Groin) and Ayanda Sishuba (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Will Still has a number of injury concerns in his Reims squad to contend with: Valentin Atangana Edoa (Ankle), Ibrahim Diakité (Ankle), Marshall Munetsi (Sprained ankle) and Josh Wilson-Esbrand (Dislocated shoulder)
