Reims – Nancy

Reims host Nancy in what promises to be a clash of contrasting fortunes, with the home side perched second on 12 points after three wins and three draws, boasting a solid 14‑8 goal difference. Nancy sit in tenth place, having gathered seven points from two victories, a draw and three defeats, and sit on an even 4‑4 goal balance. The gap in points and the defensive record suggest Reims will look to assert their attacking pedigree, while Nancy will need to tighten up at the back to stay in the game. Historically, the two clubs have exchanged modest results, but the current form heavily favours the Stade Auguste-Delaune side as they aim to maintain their push for the top spots.
