Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of important matches this weekend as Reims lock horns with an impressive Nice side at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II on Saturday.
Reims vs Nice Preview
Nice are currently in sixth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have consistently punched above their weight over the course of this season. The away side suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Lille last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Reims, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The hosts edged Saint-Etienne to an important 2-1 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this match.
