Prediction published on 24/09/2023, 16:24  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

Lille will be looking to rise in the Ligue 1 standings when they host Reims in a Monday meeting. The two sides are separated by a point, with Lille 10th on eight points and Reims 12th on seven. Another home win in their last match will lift Lille going into this one. They overcame Olimpija 2-0 in their Conference League game with goals from Jonathan David and Yusuf Yazici. So far, Lille have four wins in four home matches this season and will be very confident here. stretching back to last season, they are unbeaten in 22 matches at home across all competitions. The main concern however, for Lille, will be their few clean sheets this season. In their eight matches so far, they have just three clean sheets. They have a good scoring run though, netting in each of the matches. This means both sides have scored in five of the eight games.

Reims will come into this game seeking to bounce back after two matches without a win. They have also been poor defensively though they’ve been able to make up for it in attack. Reims suffered a 2-1 loss to Brest in their last game, conceding twice for the third time in five matches. However, they’ve scored in each of those five matches, on three occasions netting more than a goal. A combination of these aspects see Reims coming to this game with just one clean sheet in five matches. Both teams have scored in four of their five matches. It has been the same in four of their last five meetings with Lille. In their last nine league matches Reims have managed just one clean sheet. They have none in seven away matches, both sides scoring in four of the last five.
