Winner of its late match at Lille (2-1) on Tuesday, Stade de Reims has had an excellent start to the season. The Rémois hope to continue their momentum on Sunday with the reception of Olympique Lyonnais, an opponent in difficulty whom they hope to leave with their heads underwater.
It has been a long time since Olympique Lyonnais no longer plays the leading roles in Ligue 1. No doubt to the delight of the competition. The other big teams in our championship will not complain about the situation of the Rhone club, especially at a time when the first four places qualify for the Champions League. The absence of Les Gones in the upper part of the table even opens the door to a possible surprise like Stade de Reims.

After their success in Lille on Tuesday, in a late match of the sixth day, Will Still’s men occupy an astonishing fifth place. And the calendar offers them the opportunity to aim even higher since they are preparing to meet an Olympique Lyonnais still deprived of victory this season. Top Reims manager Didier Perrin therefore displays his confidence, but also his fear at the idea of relaunching the team now coached by Fabio Grosso.
Reims mercilessly for OL
« Continue this momentum? Quitereplied the decision-maker from Reims to the newspaper L’Union. I hope we are not going to help Lyon raise their heads. The absence of Alexandre Lacazette (suspended) is already a good thing. Then it will be Monaco, a meeting which promises to be very complicated. But I sincerely think that today we are capable of beating any team. Our fifth place is pleasing, but let’s wait until we reach the third of the championship to start making projections. » In the event of a victory, Reims would already be 11 points ahead of the Lyonnais. An unthinkable gap at the start of the season.
