Stade de Reims will go head to head with AJ Auxerre this weekend at Auguste Delaune Stadium in the 12th round of the French Ligue 1. Kickoffs on October 23 at 16:00 EAT.
Last weekend’s results extended the hosts winless run to six matches, although given that their last two matches have seen them claim a point against the current top two teams in Ligue 1 tghey might feel contended enough. Coming into this game, Reims won only one of their last 13 home Ligue 1 matches.
Reims comes into to this game off the back of 0-0 Ligue 1 draw with FC Lorient in their previous fixture. In that match, Reims had 51% possession and seven shots with two of them on target. Lorient got 10 shots with three of them on target.
Having been promoted from Ligue 2 last season, Auxerre could likely have taken being outside of the relegation places after 11 games of the season, especially with Ligue 1 having an extra relegation spot this season as the division begins reducing its overall number of teams to 18 by 2024. Coming into this game, Auxerre haven’t won any of their last three games against Reims.
AJ Auxerre held each other to 1-1 Ligue 1 stalemate with Nice in their most recent game .In that match, Auxerre had 45% possession, 11 shots with three of them on target and a goal by Nuno Joia Da Costa (42′). Nice got nine shots with two of them on target and a goal by Andy Delort (20′).
