Reims' unbeaten run contrasts sharply with Nantes' leakier home form.

Comparative Team Statistics: Nantes vs Reims

Head to head history

The two clubs have met plenty of times over the years, almost all of it in Ligue 1 before Nantes' recent drop to Ligue 2. The most recent meeting, back in February 2025, finished 1-2 to Nantes at Reims.

That history spans more than a decade of top-flight fixtures, so it says little about how these two sides match up in this division right now.

Where each side sits

Reims currently sit third in Ligue 2 with 13 points from seven games. Nantes are down in 15th on seven points from the same number of matches, and that ten-point gap after just seven rounds already tells its own story.

It's an early snapshot rather than a settled picture, but the early return heavily favours Reims.

Players to watch

Reims' Y. Fofana has been prolific, netting six goals in seven appearances, with D. Guindo chipping in three assists over the same span. For Nantes, W. Younoussa has scored twice in five games, showing there's still some threat up front.

One note of caution for Reims: defender A. Zohouri has already picked up two red cards in just four matches, a disciplinary record that could cost the visitors if referees stay strict.

That kind of card record is worth watching if Reims are to keep a settled backline.
