Stade de Reims will host Angers at the Stade Auguste Delaune on Sunday in another round of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side enjoyed a strong start to life under manager Will Still but seem to have lost their way of late and now sit in the bottom half of the table. They were beaten 2-1 by 10-man Lens in their last league outing and will be gutted to have come away with nothing after holding a one-goal lead and being a man up for much of the first half.
Reims sit 11th in the league table with 50 points from 35 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
Angers have endured a near-abysmal campaign and will play in the Ligue 2 next season. They were beaten 3-1 by third-placed Olympique Marseille in their last game, taking the lead via an Abdallah Sima strike before their opponents upped the ante and turned the game on its head.
