Reims Preview
Reims have been picking up points consistently of late and come into this match on a 12-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1, recording their last loss in September 2022 by a score of 0-3 to Monaco. Its current record is five wins, eleven draws, and four losses, placing it in 11th place with 26 points.
Playing at home, they have not fared too badly, with three wins, four draws, and two defeats in nine games. Their last home game ended in a 0-0 draw against Nice to complete their five-game unbeaten streak.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Yehvann Diouf; Thibault de Smet, Yunis Abdelhamid, Emmanuel Agbadou, Thomas Foket; Alexis Flips, Jens Cajuste, Marshall Munetsi, Azor Matusiwa, Junya Ito; Folarin Balogun.
Lorient Preview
Of the two teams, Lorient has the better record and therefore the better position in the table: they are in sixth place with 35 points, having won 50% of the matches it has played. It recently achieved its tenth win with a 2-1 victory over Stade Rennais. However, the team has not been consistent in the last five games.
They have not won consecutive victories since October, so it is not guaranteed to get three points again, much less in away games, considering that its last game in rival territory ended with a 3-1 defeat.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Vito Mannone; Gedeon Kalulu, Julien Laporte, Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff; Laurent Abergel, Enzo Le Fée; Stéphane Diarra, Julien Ponceau, Théo Le Bris; Ibrahima Kone.
JefeBet Prediction
On October 15, these teams faced each other on Matchday 11, ending with a 0-0 score. On this occasion, a draw is not expected, mainly because of the good pace that Reims is currently showing.
The home team seems to be in better shape and is likely to get the three points despite the fact that they have not beaten this rival in the last three games at their home ground.
Prediction: Reims win by a score of 1-0.
