Prediction: Lens 2-0 Reims
We expect the hosts to continue their good form and get another 3 vital points in their kitty to keep pressure on the table toppers.
Reims have been inconsistent in recent weeks with just 2 wins from their last 5 matches. Hence, this could be a challenge against a mighty fine Lens side.
Players to watch out for: Sotoca, Fofana, Ekitike and Kebbel.
