Reims 3-3 Dunkerque result, stats and report

Reims dominated possession and territory but could not find a winner against a Montpellier side who equalised through Yaya Fofana and then had a man sent off. A point each, and Reims will feel they left two on the table.

Pau controlled Dunkerque from the first whistle, with Jessy Benet's penalty and a late Abdoulaye Mbaye header sealing a comfortable 2-0 victory that gave them a well-earned clean sheet at home.

Dunkerque produced a gritty second-half comeback to beat Saint-Étienne 2-1 in Ligue 2, with goals from Khalil Ayari and Souleymane Keita overturning a first-half deficit. It was a result that defied the pre-match evidence completely.

Reims took all three points at Nancy on Friday night, scoring twice in the first half through Yaya Fofana and Chamsedin Kouranfal before holding on as Nancy threw everything at them. Nancy had 19 shots and dominated possession but a chronic lack of cutting edge cost them.

Dunkerque claimed a 2-0 victory at Nancy on Friday evening, with goals from Nehemiah Fernandez and Brandon Bokangu settling the contest despite the visitors being dominated in effort and discipline. Nancy's night unravelled through a red card, two yellows, and a performance that never matched the occasion.

Nantes have won once in their last six Ligue 2 matches and conceded eleven goals in five home games. Dunkerque arrive with momentum and nothing to fear.

Reims have not lost in their last ten Ligue 2 matches and carry genuine momentum into Friday night. Dijon arrive having won just once in their last five, and the gap in form could not be much clearer.

Nantes have shipped 11 goals in five Ligue 2 matches and cannot afford another soft performance at home. Reims arrive unbeaten and will fancy this.
