Impressive Lille

A great start for Lille who completed the first half of the tournament in a high place on the table. They can eventually take a breath as they were close to relegation last year. With such an effective defense, they are now in 2nd place of the table, having 9 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. They are undefeated in home where they've scored 17 goals in 8 games, however, they drew 2-2 with Lyon and 0-0 with Strasbourg in their last two games. They could have get the three pointer in both these games, but they missed many chances against Strasbourg as for the match with Lyon they scored twice from the very beginning and stayed back giving the space to their opponent to equalize in the dying minutes.

On the other hand Reims is a quite solid team, especially in front of their fans. They may have conceded only 14 goals, but the same time they have scored only 10. Compared to the other teams in the tournament, they have the weakest offense. In their most recent away game, they drew 0-0 with Marseilles who aren't doing great lately. Either way, they don't seem capable to win, they may fight for a draw, but still, I doubt about it based on their recent away performances.

Lille didn't manage to win Reims in home only once the past 5 years (4-0-1). As they are on their bright days lately, home win at 1.90 with a 5 points bet will be my cal.
