Heading into this fixture, Montpellier haven’t won at home in the past 5 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Reims

DWWLWW

Reims will come into the game after a 1-0 Ligue 1 win to defeat Toulouse in their most recent fixture.

In that match, Reims managed 52% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Reims was Jordan Siebatcheu (39'). For their opponents, Toulouse got 18 shots on goal with 6 on target.

A series of effective displays from the Reims defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their previous 6 fixtures in total. In that period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 8. Despite that, it remains to be seen whether that trend might continue on in this next match or not.

Pre-game facts show that Reims:

• are undefeated by Montpellier when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. A very good record, indeed.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 away league matches.
