A recovering Reims hosts Nice in the hopes of injecting some life into its hopes of qualifying for Europe next season.
An incredibly close race to qualify for European soccer next season is gathering pace in Ligue 1, with Reims set to face Nice on Sunday in a crossroads clash for both teams’ prospects. Reims is positioned in ninth for the time being but has a chance to climb within a single point of Nice in fifth and reignite its chance of featuring in continental competition during the 2024-24 campaign. On the other hand, Les Aiglons need a win to ensure they remain within reach of the Champions League places, though a return of just one win from their last eight outings in all competitions has been far from inspiring.

Francesco Farioli’s men were flying high this time two months ago but have since been knocked out of the Coupe de France and are barely hanging onto their place in Ligue 1’s top five.
Just seven points sits between fourth and ninth in France’s top flight with seven games to play, and a well-timed sprint finish could prove transformative for either of these outfits.
Reims appeared close to an upset win away to Lyon last weekend after Joseph Okumu’s opener, but Ernsey Nuamah was well-placed to find the leveller in a 1-1 draw.
Nevertheless, Will Still’s side can afford to feel some pride after snagging back-to-back road draws against runaway Ligue 1 leader Paris Saint-Germian and a resurgent Lyon.
A late Jeremie Boga winner ensured Les Rouge et Blancs came away from the Allianz Riviera empty-handed when they travelled to the French Riviera in December.
It’s remarkable to think a 2-1 win over Metz last month was Reims’ first home win thus far in 2024, having spent so much of 2023 impressing at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.
Nice, meanwhile, ended its own drought recently after beating Lens 3-1 to claim a first road win in five weeks, now hoping to make it two from two in Reims.
