FCL-SDR in 5 points | Reims stadium

Watch of travel to Brittany … The difficulties of the SDR facing a promoted, the prospect of beating a record dating from 1947 and the man in good shape among the Merlus: all the keys to the match can be read here!

• New bête noire? FC Lorient have won 3 of their last 4 Ligue 1 matches against SDR (1 loss), after not winning any of the top 5 (3 draws, 2 losses).

• Stade de Reims have won only 10% of their matches against those promoted to Ligue 1 in the 21st century (3/30 – 13 draws, 14 defeats), the lowest percentage for a team against such opponents on the period (min. 5 matches).

• Lorient is undefeated in his last 3 Ligue 1 matches (2 wins, 1 draw), a first since his return to the top flight last summer. Les Merlus can go on to a fourth undefeated meeting in L1 for the first time since February-March 2016 (4).

• Stubborn hake! Lorient have gained 7 points after falling behind in Ligue 1 in 2021, more than any other top team since the start of the calendar year. Their fit man is called Terem Moffi who scored 4 goals in Ligue 1 in 2021, no player does better in the top flight.

• The SDR has 4 clean sheets in 6 Ligue 1 matches in 2021, which is already as many as in its 27 top-flight matches in 2020. The Stadium can experience 4 consecutive matches in L1 without conceding a goal for the first time since August-September 1947 (4).
