Reims could nail elusive victory

Reims should have taken a lot of confidence from their 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday and they can build on that by winning at Auxerre on Sunday.

The team from the Champagne region have not had that much to celebrate this season but they have not lost in Ligue 1 since a 3-0 reverse at home to Monaco on September 18.

Too many draws has been the problem – eight in their last 12. But this is a good chance for Reims as they travel to struggling Auxerre, who have lost six league games on the trot and conceded ten times in their last three home matches.

Lens are PSG’s nearest challengers for the title and have lost just once all season.

They have drawn their last three away games, but they can take all the points at Brest.

Their hosts beat bottomof-the-table Angers 4-0 at the weekend after a fivematch winless run. But this looks a tough assignment against a team two points behind the title favourites.
