Nancy and Reims meet at Stade Marcel Picot on Friday evening in the sixth round of the Ligue 2 regular season, with kick-off scheduled for 18:00 UTC. The hosts sit seventh in the 18-team table on seven points, while Reims occupy third place on nine points, placing them in the top third of the table.
The two-point gap between the sides gives this fixture a pointed edge in the standings. Nancy have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats from their opening five matches, collecting seven points from their last five. Reims, meanwhile, are unbeaten through five matches — two wins and three draws — and have taken nine points from their last five.
Nancy's recent form shows a mixed picture. Their last outing brought a 1-0 defeat to Nantes, though that followed back-to-back wins against Dunkerque and PAU. A loss to Montpellier and a goalless draw with Boulogne also feature in their recent run. In terms of goals, Nancy have scored three and conceded two across their five league matches.
Reims head into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw with Guingamp, having previously won away at RED Star FC 93 by four goals to one and beaten Annecy 3-1 at home. Their goal record across five matches stands at 12 scored and seven conceded.
The head-to-head record between the two sides provides relevant context. Reims won 1-0 at Stade Marcel Picot in September 2025, and the sides drew 1-1 when they met in April 2026. Nancy will be looking to reverse that home result from last season when they take to the pitch on Friday.
