Money time, youth, 100th… The stats to know before Reims

Before the duel against SRFC kicks off at the Stade Auguste-Delaune (kick-off 9 p.m.), for the 15th day of Ligue 1, here are the figures to keep in mind with our partner Opta.

Raise your heads. Defeated on Wednesday against Arsenal in the Champions League (3-0), Adi Hütter’s men want to return to success this Saturday, when they travel to the Stade Auguste-Delaune to challenge Reims (kick-off 9 p.m.), at program for the 15th day of Ligue 1. So before attending this meeting, here are the statistics to highlight, with Opta. ????

The Rouge et Blanc have won three of their last four Ligue 1 matches (one defeat), after failing to win in any of the previous three (one draw, two defeats).

Stade de Reims won in its last Ligue 1 match against AS Monaco (1-3 in the Principality on January 13, 2024) and could string together two successes against this opponent for the first time in the elite since May-September 1974 (8-4 at home then 3-2 away).

Reims are a good home team, even if they lost their last home game against Lens. (…) Coach Luka Elsner is also doing a good job, as in Le Havre before. Junya Ito and Keito Nakamura are key players in this team, Marshall Munetsi is performing well in midfield, and the central defenders are solid. In attack, the holder could be Oumar Diakité or Amine Salama. All in all, this is a great championship team.

However, the SRFC lost in each of its last two receptions against the Principality club in the championship (0-3 in September 2022 then 1-3 in October 2023) and could suffer a third setback in a row against this opponent on his land for the first time in the elite.

The Principality club has lost two of its last three trips to Ligue 1 (one victory), as many as in the previous 15 (eleven wins, two draws).

Adi Hütter’s men have scored nine goals in the last quarter of an hour in the top flight this season, the highest total, while having conceded only three in this period, the second lowest total (two for Nice – also three for Marseille and Nantes).

The Champagne team (2410 minutes) and AS Monaco (1912) are two of the four teams granting the most playing time to players under 20 in the European top 5 this season (3273 for Barcelona, ​​2166 for Paris ).

After his goal against Toulouse on the last day (2-0), Breel Embolo could score in two consecutive league matches for the first time since February 2023 (2).

The Swiss striker can also reach 50 appearances in the Diagonale jersey in Ligue 1, if he plays this match. For his part, Takumi Minamino reached the milestone of 100 professional matches in the 5 major European championships against Toulouse.

Stade de Reims has failed to score in its last two matches in the elite (0-2 against Lens, then 0-0 against Strasbourg) but has not experienced a longer drought since April 2023 (three).

Reims has also conceded at least one goal in each of its last eight home games in the league (12 goals conceded in total) and could experience a longer run of this kind for the second time since its return to the elite in 2018-2019 after April-September 2022 (new).

12 shots directly followed a corner hit by Junya Ito for Reims in Ligue 1 2024-2025, highest total. Three goals were also scored following a corner from Ito, second total behind Rayan Cherki (five).
