Reims entertain second-placed Marseille at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II in Ligue 1 on Sunday (March 19).
The hosts are unbeaten in the league since October and have won their last three games. In their previous outing, Folarin Balogun's 51st-minute striker helped them win 1-0 at Monaco to climb to eighth place in the standings.
Marseille, meanwhile, were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Strasbourg last time around. Leonardo Balerdi was sent off in the 29th minute, but second-half goals from Chancel Mbemba and Alexis Sanchez helped them take a two-goal lead.
However, Jean-Eudes Aholou scored twice in as many minutes to help his team to a hard-earned point.
