Lens vs Reims – Preview, and Prediction
Lens vs Reims – Matchday No. 16 between Lens and Reims begins on Saturday night at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, with both teams tied for first place.
Lens played a goalless draw away to Montpellier, who are in the bottom half of the table, on Friday to extend their domestic unbeaten record to ten games.
The encounter was a thrilling one that took place at Stade de la Mosson, and both teams failed to capitalize on a number of excellent scoring opportunities.
Thus, Lens preserved their sixth clean sheet in the previous seven Ligue 1 games. Given their knowledge of Reims’ attacking-oriented football approach, they will need to exert a lot of effort to hold one on Saturday.
With 15 league games played, Reims has a goal differential of 21–21, which speaks everything about their mindset under Belgian coach William Still.
Although they have dropped their previous three league games, they have faced tough opponents in PSG, Rennes, and Nice.
Reims put up a valiant fight on the road against Nice, which is currently in second place, but they were unfortunate to lose the game due to a late goal by Jeremie Boga.
Lens vs Reims – Betting Analysis
