Stade de Reims play host to Stade Brestois at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II in round 30 of the French Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Brest will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win the last four meetings between the sides since December 2020.
Stade Reims returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Nantes 3-0 at the Stade de la Beaujoire last Sunday.
Prior to that, Will Still’s side suffered a 2-1 home loss against Olympique Marseille which saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
With 46 points from 29 games, Reims are currently seventh in the Ligue 1 table, six points off the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Elsewhere, Stade Brestois turned in a superb team performance last time out as they came from behind to claim a 3-1 victory over Toulouse at the Stade Francis-Le Ble.
Brest were previously on a run of three consecutive home games without a win, losing twice and claiming one draw in that time.
With 27 points from 29 games, Eric Roy’s men are currently 15th in the league table, just one point above the relegation zone.
