The ninth-placed team play host to Reims, who are two places and one point behind in eleventh, at the Stade Raymond Kopa. While Angers have been reasonably free-scoring in recent weeks (hitting 14 goals in their last six matches in all competitions), Reims have struggled in front of goal. This misfiring problem goes beyond a short span of weeks and has actually plagued them across the entire campaign.

Nottingham Forest assistant coach Bruno Baltazar: "It's very frustrating, we had a plan which we stuck to until the 96th or 97th minute.

The development of other clubs and their own inability to renew their squad with quality last summer has seen to that. Abramovich remains ambitious.
