Lille vs Reims Prediction and Betting Tips

Lille will host Reims at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1 on Monday, looking to make it three wins in a row.

Having beaten Angers 1-0 in November before the midseason break, the Mastiffs returned to action on Wednesday to secure a 2-0 victory over Clermont Foot. With 29 points in 16 games, Paulo Fonseca’s side are sixth in the league but are within grasp of the UEFA Champions League spots.

Reims are nine points worse off them in tenth but haven’t lost in their last ten games since the 3-0 defeat by AS Monaco in September.

However, during that run, Les rouges et blancs won only three meetings – all coming under their caretaker manager William Still. He replaced Oscar Garcia in October and has worked wonders with the side since.

Reims are unbeaten in their last few games, but their Monday rivals are just too strong at home, and their unbeaten streak should come to an end at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
