Reims – PAU

Reims head into the clash as clear favourites, sitting second in the table with 12 points from three wins and three draws, boasting a solid 14‑8 goal difference. Pau, meanwhile, languish near the bottom in sixteenth place, having gathered only five points after one victory, two draws and three defeats, and a modest -2 goal margin. The gap in form is stark, with Reims unbeaten so far while Pau have struggled to find consistency. Given the numbers, the home side will look to extend their unbeaten run and close the gap at the top, while Pau will need a major turnaround to climb out of the relegation zone.
