Lille-Reims is a Ligue 1 Week 17 match and is played on Monday at 5pm: stats, likely formations, predictions.
For the last seven league games, former Roma coach Paulo Fonseca’s Lille have won five times and are now just two points off fifth place, which would allow them to play on the other side of the French border next season.
In short, the team’s record is an important one, and 2022 also ended with a fine 2-0 victory over Clermont, which brought a new lustre to the table. In short, the moment is magical for the hosts, who also gave Napoli a ‘lesson’ during the break. Of course, the commitment will not be the easiest against Reims, who beat Rennes at home in the last match of the past calendar year. And the guests, with 20 points in the standings, can almost play mentally free of what may be some thoughts. Bad ones, in this case, since the relegation zone is really far away and salvation, with all the teams in between, seems to be a done deal.
Precisely, the motivations: these are the ones that can make the difference at this moment, with Lille who have all the desire to continue their magical moment in order to take, and this with some results could already be there tonight, a place in the next Europe. It is therefore obvious that for the team coached by Fonseca this is an important challenge, even if not a decisive one given that there are still many to go before the end of the season. But today’s three points could certainly have a huge specific weight.
