Saturday’s Ligue 1 encounter at the Stade Auguste-Delaune pits Reims against Lens in what promises to be a captivating showdown. With both teams separated by a single point in the standings, the stakes are high as these sides look to solidify their positions in the upper half of the table. A victory here could provide a significant boost in their respective campaigns, especially for teams aiming to punch above their weight in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
As seasoned observers of the beautiful game, we at BettingKick have delved into the numbers, form guides, and tactical nuances to bring you an in-depth analysis of this fascinating match-up. Expect compelling narratives, emerging stars, and a game that could swing in either direction.
Reims have rediscovered their mojo in recent weeks, ending a worrying three-game losing streak with a win and a draw in their last two outings. This mini-resurgence has been powered by their attack, which has rediscovered its potency, netting four goals across those games. Impressively, their 20-goal haul after 12 Ligue 1 matches is their best return at this stage since 1977, a stat that underscores their attacking credentials this season.
Manager Luka Elsner deserves credit for rejuvenating his side, who are just one point adrift of the European spots. Oumar Diakité has been at the heart of this revival, with three goals in his last four matches, including an effort against Lens in their most recent meeting. However, historical headwinds remain; Reims have failed to win any of their last 12 competitive games against Lens (D6, L6). Breaking that hoodoo on Saturday could mark a turning point in their season.
Lens, meanwhile, find themselves in a tricky spot. A mixed run of form has seen them lose three of their last four matches, though their ability to grind out results on the road remains noteworthy. A single loss in their last seven away league fixtures (W2, D4) – a narrow 1-0 defeat to PSG – highlights their resilience, even in challenging circumstances.
For manager Will Still, Saturday’s game holds personal significance. The former Reims boss will be eager to outwit his old side, adding an intriguing subplot to this already compelling clash. However, Lens’ defensive frailties are a concern, with eight goals conceded in their last four Ligue 1 matches. Przemysław Frankowski’s recent contributions, including key goals in their rare victories, make him a player to watch as Lens look to bounce back.
Both teams arrive with their share of strengths and weaknesses, setting the stage for an evenly balanced contest. Reims will hope to ride their wave of recent momentum, relying on their revitalised attack and home support to dictate proceedings. Lens, on the other hand, will aim to exploit any defensive lapses, banking on their resilience and the tactical nous of Still to leave Reims with a positive result.
Given their current form, it’s hard to pick a clear favourite. Reims’ scoring prowess, coupled with Lens’ ability to grind out results, suggests an open game with plenty of action at both ends of the pitch. Fans should be in for an entertaining spectacle.

Our prediction for this match is a 1-1 draw, as both teams boast attacking flair but lack the defensive stability to shut each other out. The smart bet here is Both Teams to Score (BTTS). With Reims finding the net consistently and Lens struggling to keep clean sheets, this wager offers both logic and value. Expect a thriller at the Stade Auguste-Delaune as two ambitious sides go toe-to-toe.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
