Before going to Reims this Saturday, OL remain in seven games without a victory at Auguste-Delaune. A series that the Lyonnais hope to break during the 12th day of Ligue 1.

Currently, apart from the Parc des Princes, there must be few stadiums that OL are as afraid of as that of Auguste-Delaune. This Saturday at 9 p.m., he goes to Reims for the 12th day of Ligue 1. However, the Reims lands have had very little success with the Rhone residents recently, to say the least.

It's simple, the last success of Olympique Lyonnais in Champagne dates back to April 26, 2015, another time in modern football. A 4 to 2 victory in which two of the scorers are named Corentin Tolisso and Alexander Lacazette. The two friends will be present again, nine years later, for this duel between 7th and 5th in the championship.

Three defeats and four draws in Reims, current series

Since then, the Rhone club has not managed to find the solution to defeat the Champenois outside their bases. A few defeats (three) and four draws which form a series of seven consecutive trips without bringing back the three points. A very long period which is generally part of a history largely unfavorable to the seven-time champions of France.

Obviously, the great passage of the Stade de Reims weighs in these results, but it must be remembered that OL took 14 games before beating the Rémois for the first time, it was in 1959. In total, out of 66 confrontations, it only won 18, with 30 losses and 17 draws. It's up to Lyon to make this statistic lie, as he knew how to do between 2013 and 2015 (five victories in a row, away and at home).
