On Friday evening ET, Bollaert-Delelis will witness the battle between RCLens vs Reims, which will be a test for Lens to prove that they deserve to be the Ligue 1 champions this season. Here’s a preview, interesting facts, h2h, and how to watch live streaming.
RC Lens is in second place with 72 points, only six points away from Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the standings. They must also be wary of the threat from Olympique Marseille, who are in third place and only two points behind them.
Lens has been in very good form recently. They have won their last three league games, including a 2-1 win over Marseille at home last week. They also have an impressive record at home this season with 15 wins, one draw and just one loss in 17 league matches. They also always win at home against teams ranked ninth or lower, and Reims is one of those teams.
Reims, on the other hand, are not very motivated to play the rest of the season. They can only hope for a top 10 finish, which is their best finish since 2019/20. They are now in tenth place with 50 points. They just had a 1-0 win over Lille at home but it was a rare win for them. They rarely win away from home against teams that are safe from the relegation zone.
Lens and Reims drew 1-1 in their last league meeting in September. Folarin Balogun scored Reims’ only goal in the 71st minute. Loïs Openda equalized for Lens in the 82nd minute. Lens has the advantage over Reims in the last few meetings. They are unbeaten in the last five league games. They also excel in terms of number of goals scored (10 to 7).
Players to watch in this clash are Openda and Balogun. Openda is Lens’ top scorer with 19 goals, which is the fourth highest tally in the league. Six of those goals were the opening goals that decided the game. Balogun is Reims’ top scorer with 18 goals, including the opening seven goals. Both of these attackers will try to show their abilities in front of the opponent’s goal.
Thus, we can conclude that Lens has a better chance of picking up a win over Reims on Friday. They have higher motivation to maintain their position in the top flight. They also have a sharp and tough striker at home. Reims, on the other hand, doesn’t have big targets for this season. They also lack consistency and are weak outside the cage.
