The Gilet Jaunes protests mean a large number of Ligue 1 fixtures due to take place this weekend have been postponed

But never mind, because there are still four matches set to go ahead, and here is one interesting fact about each team …

Stade de Reims v Strasbourg

  • Reims are unbeaten in their last three home games against Strasbourg in all competitions in the 21st century. All three games took place in Ligue 2.
  • Strasbourg are unbeaten in their last four away games in Ligue 1 – their best run since May 2004.

Nîmes v Lille

  • Nîmes are unbeaten in their last 16 home games against Lille in Ligue 1. This last time Lille won away at Nîmes in the top flight was all the way back in 1954.
  • Lille have won eight penalties in Ligue 1 this season, more than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues.
