- NewsStade de Reims
- Reims will be boosted by the return of Junya Ito, who featured off the bench last week, but they have lost Keito Nakamura to suspension.
- Mamdou Diakhon should move over to the left, with Ito starting on the right on Saturday night.
- Mohamed Dramary, Reda Khadra and Yaya Fofana all miss out for the visitors.
- Prediction
Lille lost 2-0 at Brest last weekend, and the best they can hope for now is to finish fourth. Les Dogues are unbeaten in five in the league at home, though were held to a 1-1 draw with Marseille in their last match in front of their fans.
Back-to-back defeats means Reims are not yet safe, and they head in Saturday's game two points above the relegation playoff spot, and three above the dropzone. They have lost only one of their last four away games, and a point will be enough to avoid automatically drop into Ligue 2.
Reims won this game last season, but it's Lille, in Jonathan David's final game for the side, who should secure all the spoils on Saturday.
