Reims play host to Rennes in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade Auguste-Delaune this Sunday. Reims have yet to pick up their first win of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season, although they did look improved in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Marseille last weekend.
Rennes, meanwhile, were impressive in an opening weekend thrashing of Lyon, but then fell to Strasbourg in a disappointing result last weekend. They'll be hoping to bounce back from that defeat here.
So which of these sides will come out on top this weekend?
Reims vs Rennes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The last time these sides faced off at the Stade Auguste-Delaune, Reims ran out 2-1 winners in what was the final game of the 2023-24 campaign.
- Interestingly, none of the last six meetings between Reims and Rennes have ended in a draw, with both sides winning three each. These games have tended to be high-scoring, too, with the last five featuring three or more goals.
- Reims' season got off to the worst possible start in their home match with Lille. They were reduced to 10 men after just 15 minutes, and went onto fall to a 0-2 defeat.
- Rennes have seen a lot of churn in the current transfer window. They sold some key players, including Desire Doue, Enzo le Fee, Martin Terrier and Arthur Theate, making some huge profits in the process.
- Rennes' loss to Strasbourg last weekend was worryingly reminiscent of their poor ending to the 2023-24 campaign. They won just three of their final 12 games last season.

Reims vs Rennes Prediction
Reims should come into this game with a bit of confidence after they secured a decent draw with a highly-rated Marseille side last weekend.
However, they may find this game against Rennes difficult. The away side fell to a disappointing defeat last weekend, but looked excellent against Lyon and have a side full of firepower.
If Rennes' attack can click, they have one of the more dangerous units in Ligue 1 and are almost certain to score goals. Reims can score too and put the pressure on, but the smart money here is probably on an away win.
Prediction: Reims 1-2 Rennes
