Manager Will Still is known for leading Reims to an impressive 17-game unbeaten run at the start of his tenure last season. However, their form has taken a downturn since then, with eight defeats from their last 12 competitive fixtures. They recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Marseille, marking the fourth consecutive game where they failed to win after scoring the first goal.

Reims' record against their upcoming opponents, Clermont, is a mix of results. They lost both contests against Clermont last season. Despite this, Reims has been strong at home against Clermont, losing only once in the last five matches (winning three and drawing one). The team will look to compensate for the loss of their top scorer from last season, Folarin Balogun, who contributed significantly to their goalscoring efforts.

Clermont surprised many last season by finishing eighth in Ligue 1, a significant improvement from their previous position. Pascal Gastien, their manager for almost six years, guided the team to eight wins in their final ten games of the season, further solidifying their position in the league.

Clermont suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Monaco in their opening match of the new season. Their defense has been a concern, with three of their last four competitive matches resulting in them conceding at least twice. Interestingly, Clermont has won four of their last five matches when conceding first.

Players to watch include Marshall Munetsi for Reims, who was their second-highest scorer last season, and the team has remained undefeated in matches where he scored. For Clermont, Muhammad Cham was a key player in the goal-scoring department last season, and he has already made an impact in the current campaign with a goal and an assist in their previous match against Monaco.

I expect a close game and Reims coming on the top. Good luck!

主教练威尔·斯蒂尔在上个赛季上任之初带领兰斯取得了令人印象深刻的17场不败。然而，从那以后，他们的状态开始下滑，在过去的12场比赛中输了8场。他们最近以2比1不敌马赛队，这是他们连续4场在打进第一球后未能获胜。

兰斯对即将到来的对手克莱蒙的战绩是喜忧参半的。上个赛季他们在和克莱蒙的比赛中都输了。尽管如此，兰斯在主场对阵克莱蒙的比赛中表现强劲，在最近的五场比赛中只输了一场(三胜一平)。球队将寻求弥补上赛季头号射手弗拉林·巴洛贡(Folarin Balogun)的损失，他对球队的进球贡献很大。

克莱蒙上赛季以法甲第八名的成绩震惊了很多人，这比他们之前的排名有了很大的提高。帕斯卡尔·加斯蒂安，他们的主教练，将近6年，带领球队在最后10场比赛中取得8胜，进一步巩固了他们在联盟中的地位。

克莱蒙在新赛季的首场比赛中以4比2不敌摩纳哥。他们的防守令人担忧，最近四场正式比赛中有三场至少丢了两次球。有趣的是，克莱蒙在最近的五场比赛中，先丢球就赢了四场。

值得关注的球员包括兰斯队的马歇尔·穆内茨，他是上个赛季得分第二高的球员，球队在他进球的比赛中保持不败。对于克莱蒙来说，穆罕默德·查姆是上赛季进球部门的关键球员，在上一场对阵摩纳哥的比赛中，他已经用一个进球和一个助攻在当前的赛季中发挥了作用。

我预计会有一场势均力敌的比赛，兰斯会领先。好运！
