Reims are sixth in Ligue 1 and still in with a chance of qualifying for next season's Europa League. They will need to do a lot better than their last league result that saw them lose 4-0 at Strasbourg. That defeat ended a run of 13 league games without defeat. Their home form has seen them unbeaten in their last seven matches in Ligue 1 and they've only lost one in their last 13. Draws are quite common for Reims and three of their last six home games have ended that way. In all, 13 of their league matches have ended level and that's joint highest with Angers in Ligue 1 this season.

Lille are second in the league but that's the highest they are going to get. They trail PSG by 20 points and have played a game more than the runaway league leaders. If they fail to win this game and PSG beat Strasbourg this weekend, then the title race is over. Lille have only lost one of their last seven league games and are four points clear of third-placed Lyon. Qualifying for next season's Champions League is looking very likely as they are 11 points ahead of St Etienne in fourth. Finishing second means they go straight into the group stages so they'll want to keep second. Their away form is good with three wins in the last four with only one loss in the last eight. The bet here is for an away league win.
