Reims – Rodez

Reims, sitting second in the table with 12 points from three wins and three draws and a comfortable +6 goal difference, will host Rode z, who sit 11th on seven points after two victories, a draw and three defeats and a -1 goal difference. The home side will look to extend their unbeaten run and close the gap on the leaders, while Rode z will need a win to pull themselves out of the lower half of the table. Both teams have already faced each other only once this season, a stalemate that left the points evenly split, so the encounter promises to be a crucial test of consistency for the promotion‑chasing Reims and a chance for Rode z to revive their campaign.
