Team News

Reims
Lille
  • Kamory Doumbia returns from his loan to Stade Brestois and will be available.
  • Edon Zhegrova has started on the bench in both ties against Fenerbahçe, but looks match-fit to start against Reims.
  • Bruno Génésio has switch to a back three during pre-season featuring the return of veteran Thomas Meunier.

Prediction

  • Luka Elsner takes the reins at Stade de Reims this season after keeping Le Havre in the division last season. Since Reims returned to Ligue 1 in 2018-19, their head-to-head record with Lille has been perfectly balanced with four wins each and three draws. Lille are also unbeaten on the opening matchday in their last seven Ligue 1 seasons (W4 D3), since a 3-2 defeat at Metz in 2016-17.
  • Lille come off the back of playing extra-time against Fernabahçe in the Champions League qualifying rounds, which went to extra-time against José Mourinho's side on Tuesday evening. Reims could take advantage, but expect Lille to be resolute defensively
