Match Preview

The Red and Whites welcome Olympique Lyonnais to the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Reims were 1-2 winners in Lyon when these sides met back in December. This leaves Reims chasing a first-ever league double over Lyon.

Stade Reims come into the match on a run of four league games undefeated. They have picked up 11 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

Les Rouges et Blancs won their last league match away to SCO Angers. Expected goals of 1.9 to 1.5 in favour of Angers indicates Reims didn’t deserve all three points on the balance of chances created. To have held onto their one-goal lead for nearly an hour with only ten men showed remarkable determination though.

Alexis Flips was the goalscoring hero for Reims. His goal proved enough to secure all three points against Angers. Flips now has two league goals this season for Reims and is 6.5/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 0-1.

Their opponent on Sunday, Olympique Lyonnais, come into the match on a run of two away league games undefeated. They have picked up seven points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

The Kids lost their last league match at home to Stade Rennais FC. Expected goals of 1.3 to 1.2 in favour of Rennes indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match. Les Gones’ keeper Anthony Lopes will be analysing his performance this week. To concede four goals from seven shots on target and an xG of just 1.3 would suggest either world-class finishing or some poor shot-stopping here.

Moussa Dembele is Olympique Lyonnais’s top scorer with ten goals in Ligue 1 this season and is the 2.3/1 favourite to score against Stade Reims on Sunday.

Stade Reims team news

The red card shown to Anastasios Donis in their last league match against Angers means Reims will now be without him for today’s match.

Hugo Ekitike (Hamstring Injury) will be unavailable for The Red and Whites due to injury on Sunday.

Olympique Lyonnais team news

Injuries will rule out Rayan Cherki (Metatarsal Fracture) and Sinaly Diomandé (Ankle Surgery) for the trip to the Stade Auguste-Delaune.

They may look to shuffle their deck voluntarily having lost against Stade Rennais FC in their last league match.
