Reims 2-2 Guingamp 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.

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.

Reims put four past Red Star in Paris on Saturday afternoon, with Youssef El Kachati scoring twice as the visitors' clinical edge completely undid a Red Star side that had more of the ball but none of the cutting edge that mattered.

Guingamp and Nantes served up a chaotic six-goal draw in Ligue 2, with Nantes twice leading before Wilitty Younoussa pulled Guingamp level and Antoine Joujou's late strike forced a share of the spoils. Neither side deserved to win. Both deserved to lose.

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.

Guingamp host Pau on Friday night in a Ligue 2 fixture between two sides who have made a habit of giving goals away. Someone has to tighten up. The question is whether either of them actually can.

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.
