Reims will host Nice at Stade Auguste-Delaune II in a Ligue 1 clash on Saturday (January 11). The hosts have five wins in 16 league games and are in 11th place in the standings with 20 points. Les Aiglons have seven wins and are in sixth place with 27 points.
Les rouges et blancs played Saint-Étienne in their first match of the year last week and suffered a 3-1 away loss, ending their three-game unbeaten streak. Keito Nakamura broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute to give them the lead but Saint-Étienne scored thrice in the second half to secure a comeback win.
The visitors hosted Rennes in their first match of the year and registered a 3-2 home win. Evann Guessand, Sofiane Diop, and Gaëtan Laborde scored in the first half, which was enough for them to eke out a narrow win.
