Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Reims
The team ended a three-match losing streak in Ligue 1 by defeating Le Havre 3-0 in the previous round. Importantly, Reims kept a clean sheet for the first time in the current championship. However, the club did not manage to return to the European competition zone and is positioned 7th in the Ligue 1 standings, trailing the 6th place only on additional indicators. Notably, Reims performs worse at home in the current championship, earning 7 points compared to 10 away.
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 8 of the club's last 10 Ligue 1 matches.
- The team has not lost in 7 of their last 10 matches in this tournament (5 wins, 2 draws).
- Reims has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 6 home matches in the championship.
Lyon
Lyon secured their 5th victory of the current Ligue 1 season (3 draws, 3 losses) by defeating Saint-Etienne 1-0 in the previous match. This win allowed the team to climb to 5th place in the elite French division standings, with just a single point separating them from the Champions League zone. Interestingly, Lyon and Reims have almost identical records for goals scored and conceded in the current championship, with both clubs conceding 15 goals, while the visitors have scored one more, netting 19 goals.
- The team's unbeaten run in the French championship stands at 6 matches (4 wins, 2 draws).
- Lyon's scoring streak in Ligue 1 is 7 matches, with at least two goals scored in 5 of them.
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in 5 of Lyon's last 6 away matches in this tournament.
Reims vs. Lyon: Match Prediction
Luka Elsner's side confidently dealt with the championship's underdog in the last round, keeping a clean sheet for the first time this season. Reims is a tough opponent for any team, consistently putting up a fight in every match, and I don't think this encounter will be an exception. Bookmakers also rate the teams' chances of success in the upcoming match as equal. However, the support of the home crowd can be considered an additional advantage for the hosts.
At home, Reims has not lost in 7 of their last 10 matches in the French championship, securing 5 wins. Moreover, they have not lost to Lyon at home in this tournament for 6 matches (2 wins, 4 draws). I believe the hosts have every chance to earn points in this match. My prediction – Reims to win or draw
