Reims take on the visitors Troyes in the round 19 match of French Ligue 2. The match will be played on Monday, December 19th at Stade Auguste-Delaune (Reims).
Reims, who got relegated last season from Ligue 1, wouldn’t mind to make return to elite division in one season. The team is currently on sixth place in the Ligue 2 standings with 30 points and 21-17 goal difference. However, the team is only two points behind Lens, who are second at the moment, so each win may get Reims a place in top-3. The team allows almost no mistakes in matches at home, taking seven wins in eight matches with 12-4 goal difference. The team focused on denting opponents’ efforts in the first place and then look for an opportunity to score goals.

Troyes are another side that don’t mind to make return to top division and one defeat in their last 14 matches suggest that the visiting team is determined to battle for top places. The team has gained 32 points and occupy 2-5 places with Lens, Strasburg and Sochaux. Troyes aren’t that bad in matches on the road, taking 11 points in 8 matches.
Troyes are undefeated in head-to-heads with Reims since 2012 for five matches in a row, winning three of these games. Upcoming match is important for both of the teams in terms of their battle for promotion and we can expect the opponents to focus on denying efforts of the rival rather than on creating chances.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
