On May 12, Stade Bollaert-Delelis (Lens) will host the match of the 35th round of French Ligue, in which Lens will compete with Reims. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Lens

The club was able to return to the elite division of the country in 2020 after a long pause. And it turned quite quickly into a significant force there. Frank Eza’s wards were able to take the 7th place in the previous season, which, however, was not enough to break into the European competition again. Nowadays, “the Blood and Gold” have every reason to aim at the Champions League! There was a recession from the end of January to the beginning of March, which was characterized with only 1 victory in 7 rounds – that was a success in the battle with Nantes, which, however, defeated the team in the Coupe de France. Nevertheless, it gained momentum in spring again – the club lost only to PSG, beating all the other opponents, among which one can find Rennes and Monaco. Last Saturday, there was a full-time duel with Marseille for the second place, which was won with a 2-1 score.

Reims

The team was able to return to the European competition in 2020. But, firstly, it did not overcome through the summer qualification. Secondly, “Les rouges et blancs” have remained a deaf middle peasant of the French football. They finished the previous season in the 12th place, which is far from both the European tournament zone and the outsiders. Speaking about the new cycle, failing the start and betting on the young Belgian, Will Still, the club surprised everyone by not losing from October to March (except for the elimination from the Coupe de France made by Toulouse, which became the triumphant of this tournament). Still, the courage was lost gradually. A 1-2 score in the battle against Marseille at beginning of April was followed by the victory in the match with Nantes and a draw in the confrontation with Brest, but then there happened “dry” defeats, which threw the club into the bottom of the standings. And only Lille was beaten at the home arena due to the only goal of Munetsi.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Lens has not lost for 5 previous matches in a row. If it won both battles in the previous season, then Reims achieved a 1-1 draw in its home match in September.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe in a confident victory of the hosts. Thus, it is reasonable to bet on Lens with “a -1 goal handicap” (odd: 1.99).
