Reims – Clermont Foot

Reims host a struggling Clermont Foot in what promises to be a decisive clash for the top half of the table. Sitting second with 12 points from three wins and three draws, the home side have already out‑scored opponents 14‑8 and will be keen to extend that run. Clermont, languishing 15th with just five points after five goalless draws and a single defeat, have managed only three goals while conceding five, underscoring their offensive frailties. The gap in form and firepower suggests Reims enter the fixture as clear favourites, though a point for the visitors would keep their survival hopes alive.
