RC Lens vs Stade de Reims Prediction 12 May 2023

The starting match of the Ligue 1 matchday 35 between Lens and Reims is scheduled for next Friday.

Second place, 72 points and a goal difference of 57:26 - Lens is having an amazing season and for the first time in two decades came close to getting into the Champions League. Over the past month, the Blood Golds have lost only to the formidable PSG (1:3), while breaking the resistance of Strasbourg (2:1), Monaco (3:0), Toulouse (1:0) and Marseille (2:1).

Reims beat Lille 1-0 last weekend to move up to tenth position and earn 50 points on a 41:35 scored-conceded record. But April turned out to be very difficult for the Reds, and failures in duels with Brest (1:1), Rennes (0:3), Strasbourg (0:2) and Clermont (0:1) are a vivid confirmation of this.

In the current league season, Lens have turned their stadium into a real fortress, where they almost always beat their opponents. We doubt very much that the much more modest Reims will break this pleasant tradition for the Blood-Golds.
