Team News

Reims
Lens
  • After an impressive performance against Lorient, don't expect Óscar Garcia to ring the changes here.
  • Fraser Hornby was fit enough for the bench against Les Merlus, but won't start.
  • Arber Zeneli has rebounded impressively from injury and will keep his place alongside a fit-again Touré in attack.
  • Kevin Danso should start as he returns from suspension.
  • Facundo Medina is fit again, and should join the Austrian in the back three.
  • Arnaud Kalimuendo came off the bench against Nantes and should be back in the XI here, leaving Kakuta as the only potential absentee.

Prediction

  • Reims have been an obdurate opponent all season, but even with safety mathematically secured, don't expect that to change in what looks to be tightly-contested encounter.
  • Lens need results to go their way, and for Nice to win the Coupe de France, but with Le Sang et Or still harbouring a faint chance of European football, look for the visitors to play this match with the same hammer and tongs approach that they have all season
