Reims - Montpellier

Reims enter this matchday 7 encounter at Stade Auguste Delaune following a productive run of form, highlighted by a recent 2-1 victory over Nancy. Their attacking rhythm has been consistent throughout the opening weeks, notably seen in their 4-1 win against Red Star. Meanwhile, Montpellier arrive seeking to build momentum after securing a narrow 1-0 win against Pau. Despite a setback against Saint-Etienne earlier in September, their defensive resilience has remained a central theme of their campaign, evidenced by a string of tight results including a 1-0 success against Dunkerque.

The history between these two sides suggests a competitive edge, with their most recent meeting on 27 February 2026 ending in a goalless stalemate. Reims previously enjoyed success against these opponents in November 2025, claiming a 2-0 victory. As they meet again on 18 September 2026, both teams look to assert their authority in the league standings.
