Stade Francis-Le Blé - Brest
Reims have not won any of their last 15 Ligue 1 matches (D6 L9), equalling their longest drought in the 21st century (between October 2012 and February 2013). It's also the longest current streak in Europe's Top five leagues.
Reims have failed to score in their last six Ligue 1 matches, their longest run ever in the top-flight.
Brest have won just one of their last five Ligue 1 matches (D3 L1), after winning four of the previous five (L1).
Brest have won two of their last three matches against Reims in Ligue 1 (D1), as many as in their first 10 meetings (D5 L3).
Brest have lost only three matches against Reims in Ligue 1, or 23% (W4 D6), their lowest tally and percentage against one of the 24 teams they have faced more than 10 times in the top-flight.
Brest surpassed the 35-point mark after 25 matches in a Ligue 1 season for the second consecutive season (46 in 2023/24, 36 this season), as many times as in their previous 15 seasons in the top-flight (37 in 1984/85, 35 in 2010/11).
Reims have lost their last five Ligue 1 matches without finding the net and could equal the longest such run in the top-flight: 6 for Ajaccio between December 1968-January 1969, Lille between January-February 2003 and Nancy between August-October 2012.
Brest have played 40 Ligue 1 matches at Francis-Le Blé since Eric Roy joined in January, 2023 and, with 74 points (W21 D11 L8), have the fifth best record in Ligue 1 at home during this period behind Lille (90), Paris SG (84), Monaco (78) and Nice (77).
