Fifth in the championship, Reims remains on a convincing victory against Lille on Tuesday. Full of confidence, the Rémois do not want to be in excess and give OL an opportunity to win their first match on Sunday (1 p.m.).

Brest, Reims, Strasbourg and even Le Havre. These four clubs are among the surprises at the start of the season in Ligue 1, occupying one of the first seven places in the championship. L’OL has already faced three of these four clubs and will go to the last thief on Sunday (1 p.m.) who is none other than the Reims stadium. Currently fifth, the Rémois remain on an important victory (1-2) against Lille Tuesday in a postponed match of the 6th day of Ligue 1.

Three away points which give the Champagne club reason to believe in a good season after being active on the transfer market. “Except for this match against Brest which remains in our throats, our start to the season is very good, said Didier Perrinsenior manager of Stade de Reims with our colleagues at L’Union. (…) Our 5th place is pleasing, but let’s wait until we reach a third of the championship to start making projections.”

“The absence of Lacazette is already a good thing”

Having ten points after six days, the players of theOL would sign with both hands to experience such a start to the season. Unfortunately, it’s quite the opposite. When Reims creates a surprise, the club does it too, but in a much more negative way with this 17e place and no success. In Champagne, Reims hope that the lion will remain a wounded beast for another day. “I hope that we are not going to help Lyon to raise their heads. The absence of Alexandre Lacazette is already a good thing. I sincerely think that today we are capable of beating any team. “

OL have been warned, they must not come with their feet fanned out if they want to have a first success against Will’s men Still.
