Both team eyes penetrating into the top six with a big win in the upcoming fixture.

Renowned worldwide for its Champagne, the vineyards of Reims add a sparkling allure to the legacy of Reims, also popularly known as the Coronation City. The Matchweek 13 of the Ligue 1 fixtures takes us to the Stade Auguste Delaune Stadium in Reims where Stade de Reims are set to lock horns against RC Lens.

Stade de Reims currently sit 8th in the Ligue 1 standings, with five wins and four losses from their 12 matches so far. Eager to capitalize on their home advantage, they aim to secure a victory against Lens and break into the top six.

Despite enduring three consecutive defeats to Auxerre, Brest, and Toulouse earlier, Reims regained form with a commanding win over Le Havre. Most recently, they settled for a draw against Olympique Lyon, extending their unbeaten streak to two matches. Reims will now look to build on this momentum as they target all three points in their upcoming fixture.

RC Lens currently trail Stade de Reims by a single point, occupying the spot just below them in the Ligue 1 standings. Their recent form has been erratic, with flashes of brilliance overshadowed by inconsistency. After a thrilling 3-2 victory over Nantes, Lens stumbled in their latest match against Marseille, suffering a 3-1 defeat.

Goals from Valentin Rongier, Louis Hendrick, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg sealed Marseille’s dominance in that clash. Lens now aim to bounce back and regain their winning momentum as they prepare to face Reims in a crucial encounter.
