Reims have to be respected for their ability to pick up results, but they’ve yet to really set the world alight with performances so far.
Still have a 100% home record, but all of their victories have been by tight margins.
Team news is favourable and the same squad is retained. Reims have few injuries to worry about and no new concerns.
Sacked coach Viorel Moldovan this week. Taking over as interim boss is David Carre.
Second bottom of the table and have won just a single game all season.
Haven’t scored a goal in any of their last six games, a run which stretches well over 540 minutes!
Injuries to the attacking duo of Yoann Touzghar & Alexandre Vincent might not be a bad thing and will give someone else a chance.
Could be highly unpredictable following the sacking of Moldovan and with a caretaker boss in charge.
Auxerre appear to be in a bit of a crisis and it could be a good time to face them before they hire a permanent manager.
Reims lost for the first time on Monday night and it will be interesting to see how they respond. This is their first really difficult moment of the season.
The hosts are rightful favourites around the 1.75 mark and are the most likely team to win this match.
They are a tempting bet, but Reims are coming off a short week and the change of coach might help inspire Auxerre.
I’m expecting a home win, but in my experience it’s always best to play safe and with some caution whenever a team changes its manager.
