Reims vs Lyon: Ligue 1 Match Preview

On November 23rd, 2024, the Stade Auguste Delaune will host a crucial Ligue 1 match between Reims (7th, 17 points) and Olympique Lyonnais (5th, 18 points). Reims, despite 2 wins in their last 5 games, shows inconsistent form with 3 losses. Lyon, on the other hand, is slightly more consistent with 1 loss in their last 5. The head-to-head record is balanced (1 win each and 3 draws), with Lyon slightly ahead in goals scored (5 vs 4 for Reims).

With 3 injured or suspended players for Reims and 2 for Lyon, the squads will be impacted. Tactically, we can expect a tight match. Reims, playing at home, might opt for a more attacking approach, while Lyon, more experienced, might favor a more pragmatic strategy. Key moments could be set pieces, given the number of goals conceded by both teams.

The match looks unpredictable. Lyon’s victory seems slightly more likely given their ranking and recent form, but Reims, in front of their home crowd, could spring a surprise. A 1-2 Lyon win or a 1-1 draw are plausible scores. The fitness of key players will be crucial.
