Stade de Reims

After their heavy 3-0 defeat against Monaco, Reims, currently in a difficult situation under interim coach Samba Diawara, are expected to shake things up in an attempt to change the team's momentum.
However, Reims continue to struggle with multiple injury setbacks, as Amadou Koné, Yaya Fofana, Reda Khadra, Mohamed Daramy, and Jordan Siebatcheu remain sidelined. The team will need to adapt quickly to these absences as they look to regain stability.
Auxerre

After their narrow 1-0 defeat against Strasbourg last week, Auxerre will aim to maintain their momentum for the remaining games of the season.
There are no changes to the squad, with long-term absentees Lasso Coulibaly and Nathan Buayi-Kiala still sidelined due to injury.
