THE PREDICTION
Lille were not exactly as their best last weekend but they managed to grind out a 0-1 win at Nimes to keep themselves firmly in the title mix. Manager Christophe Galtier will have been particularly satisfied with their defensive resolve as prior to that they had uncharacteristically conceded four goals in games against Montpellier and Angers. Another disciplined performance is expected here, but Reims have been a tough nut to crack lately having gone five games without defeat to pull themselves clear of danger. The hosts will not have it all their own way but they are fancied to eventually prevail so Draw/Lille in the Double Result market looks tempting.
