The fixture
Montpellier travel to face Reims on Friday 18 September in the Ligue 2, with Stade Auguste-Delaune the venue – the ball rolls at 19:00 WAT.

Current form
Reims, last 5: WDWWD Their latest outing: 2–1 win over Nancy, away. In their own stadium the record reads 1 won, 0 lost from 3. 2.3 goals per outing makes them dangerous.
Montpellier, last 5: WLDWW Their latest outing: 1–0 win over PAU, at home. Away from home the record reads 2 won, 1 lost from 3. Scoring is the worry: just 0.8 goals a game. Defensively they have kept 4 clean sheets in that run.
