Lens Preview
Whatever happens from now until the end, Lens has had a memorable 2022-23 Ligue 1 campaign. They will be in the UEFA Champions League next term, which is a great achievement.
Lens could still win the French title. PSG are six points ahead with four games to play on the Ligue 1 schedule, but the current champions have not been at their best since the turn of the year.
Lens is in tip-top shape right now, picking up seven wins from their last eight Ligue 1 matches. The only defeat during that run was against Paris last month. Lens has been unstoppable at home this term, and another three points at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis this Friday would be huge. Keep reading for our French Ligue 1 predictions.
Stade de Reims Preview
Reims finished 12th last season, and the Red and Whites are on course to finish even higher this term. Right now, Will Still’s side sit tenth in the Ligue 1 standings, having collected 50 points from 34 games. They have won 12, drawn 14, and lost eight.
Reims has struggled for form of late, however. They recently picked up one point from a possible 12 and suffered three successive defeats. They did manage to secure a vital victory in the last one, beating Lille 1-0 at home thanks to a Marshall Munetsi goal.
