Racing Club de Lens hosts Stade de Reims this Friday, May 12 on the occasion of the first match of the 35th day of Ligue 1. The Sang et Or can get closer to the leader PSG and take a comfortable lead over OM, 3rd.
THE RC Lens scored a big blow on the last day of Ligue 1 by winning the final for 2nd place against OM (2-1). The Sang et Or therefore have a second consecutive match at home in the Championship and remain on three wins in a row. But at Felix Bollaert, the situation is even more favorable for Franck Haise’s men who have not lost in their stadium since February 1 and a setback against Nice (0-1). “It would be a serious mistake to think that it will be easier against Reims than against Marseille, Monaco or Paris when I see what they have been doing for a very long time,” tempered the Lensois coach.
Opposite, Stade de Reims could actually pose problems for their opponents of the day even if the dynamic is much worse than a few days ago. Indeed, the Rémois won a success against Lille (1-0) on the last day but it was the only victory for Will Still’s men in 1 month in the Championship. Even if they don’t have much to play for this season, they want to turn into end-of-season referees, as the Reims technician says: “We know the quality of Lens, especially at home. We are aware of that. We know it’s a very good team when they play at home. Sometimes you don’t play against eleven guys but twelve or thirteen. We know that this match context is going to be special and not the easiest, but that doesn’t prevent not that we’re going there to put on a solid, tough match and once again show the best version of Stade de Reims.”
