Team analysis: Lens

Currently placed 9th, Lens has accumulated 42 points from 12 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses. Their latest match resulted in a 1-0 victory over Saint-Étienne at home, following a previous loss away to Lille by the same scoreline. Interestingly, Lens has shown to be stronger in away games than at home, with a record of 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses as visitors compared to 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In their last 10 league matches at home, Lens has won 5 and lost 5, earning 15 points from a possible 30. The most common score at halftime in their home matches in the league has been 0-0, occurring in 9 out of 14 games. Their attack is relatively consistent, having scored in 7 of their last 10 league matches. Furthermore, there is a trend of low scoring in their home matches, as 10 of their last 14 saw fewer than 3 goals. Out of 28 league matches, they have only managed to come back from behind in 1 of the 10 games where they conceded the first goal. Notably, in their last 14 home matches in the league, 7 of the 16 goals conceded occurred between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Lens enters this match following a 1-0 victory against AS Saint-Étienne, with Goduine Koyalipou scoring the only goal. When playing in front of their home crowd, the team typically lines up in a 3-5-2 formation, relying on the creativity and movement of Wesley Saïd and Florian. They often attack down the left flank, capitalising on Machado’s pace and offensive threat. Sadly, they will miss Hamzat Ojediran due to suspension, along with Denis Petric, Jonathan Gradit, Jeremy Agbonifo, Jhoanner Chávez, and Rémy Labeau Lascary, who are all facing injury concerns.

Team analysis: Reims

Positioned 16th with 26 points from 6 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses, the visiting side has struggled for form. Their last match resulted in a 1-0 defeat to Strasbourg at home, following a win over Olympique Marseille by 3-1 in their previous match. Reims has surprisingly performed better away than at home, with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 games as visitors, compared to 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses at home. In the league, they have gained only 6 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 away matches, with 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 losses.

Reims has not managed to secure a win in their last 16 league matches. The team has struggled defensively, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 games, while offensively they have been lacklustre, failing to score in 7 of their last 10 fixtures in this league. They often find it difficult to take the lead, only managing to do so in 7 of their last 28 league games. Of these 7 games, they finished the first half ahead in all and claimed victory at the final whistle in 4. Out of 28 league matches, they have managed to turn the tie around from behind in just 2 of the 18 losses they faced when conceding the first goal.

Stade Reims approaches this fixture following a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Strasbourg. The away side tends to set up in a 5-2-3 formation, with Keito Nakamura, Junya Ito, and Jordan as key offensive players. In midfield, Ibrahima Koné plays a vital role in orchestrating play and building attacking moves. They will miss Ham Gbane due to suspension, along with Reda Khadra, Mohamed Daramy, Gabriel Moscardo, and Yaya Fofana, who are dealing with injury issues.
