THE PREDICTION
It has been something of a nightmare start to the season for reigning Ligue 1 champions Lille with their latest outing seeing them lose the Derby du Nord to Lens. Injuries to some key players have certainly not helped their cause but regardless, Jocelyn Gourvennec – who only stepped into the hot seat in July – will be feeling the pressure following last season’s heroics under former manager Christophe Galtier. Draw specialists Reims have made a solid enough start to the season and will aim to make life difficult for the hosts. They have been defensively sound recently having only conceded to PSG over the course of the last three games, and they look capable getting a result here. Lille look nervy at present and may struggle to break the visitors down so backing under 2.5 goals is the suggestion here.
