Nice have 57 points after 32 Ligue 1 2024-25 matches, which is already more than over the entire previous season (55). Nice recorded at least as many points at this stage of an L1 campaign (counting three points for a win) only once in the last 45 years (70 in 2016-17).
Reims have 33 points after 32 Ligue 1 matches in 2024-25, their joint-lowest tally at this stage of an L1 season in the 21st century (also 33 points in 2015-16, a season ended by relegation). In 2025, only Montpellier took fewer points (7) and scored fewer goals (7) than Reims in the top flight (13 points, 12 goals scored).
Nice have just won for the third time in a row in Ligue 1 for the second time this season, having done so in February - March (4).
Nice are unbeaten in their last 12 matches against Reims in Ligue 1 (W4 D8) and could remain unbeaten in 13 consecutive meetings against the same opponent in the top-flight for the second time in their history, after August 2012-November 2018 v Lille (13).
Nice have conceded only two goals in 10 home games against Reims in Ligue 1 this century, at least four fewer than against any other team hosted at least 10 times over that period; but one of them was in the most recent meeting (2-1 in December 2023).
Nice have gained 54 points in Ligue 1 this season, their highest total after 31 games in the top-flight since 2016-17 (67). OGCN could already exceed their total of their previous campaign (55).
Reims have lost just one of their last six Ligue 1 games (W3 D2) after losing in each of their previous six.
Nice have only failed to score once at home this season (31 goals), it was against Lyon in March (0-2). The Aiglons have only gone without scoring twice on home soil in the same Ligue 1 season once in the last 35 years, in 2019-20 (0 in 15 games).
