The runaway leaders in France will be hoping to stretch their advantage at the summit on Sunday afternoon, as PSG welcome Reims to the capital. However, the visitors could take hope from the fact that PSG have played out draws in each of their last two.
Ligue 1 Preview
There will be slight pressure on PSG coming into this round of matches, as they will be looking to ensure that they don’t give the chasing pack hope of catching them at the summit. The Parisians have won three of their last five matches, but they have played out draws in each of their previous two fixtures in the competition. Regardless, they remain nine points clear at the top.
Reims come into this weekend in a difficult period, as they have dropped to ninth in the table after losing three of their last five. Wins have also been challenging to come by over that period, as they have picked up maximum points on just one occasion. A win on the road could see them re-enter the race for a European finish this term.
Will Still enjoyed an excellent record when he first arrived at the club after going 17 without defeat. However, they have suffered 17 defeats since that unbeaten run was ended, with only Nantes having lost more matches in the league over that period. But, Reims have won two of their previous three away matches in the league.
PSG’s record after a midweek match in the Champions League has been excellent throughout the season. They have won six of their last seven matches after a European fixture. That includes a 3-0 success over Reims in November after playing in midweek.
PSG vs Reims Head to Head
PSG have recorded victories in five of their last seven matches against Reims at home. That have only conceded one goal over that period, with that coming in a 1-1 draw last term. But, that remains just one of two points that Reims have picked up from the Parc des Princes.
PSG vs Reims Prediction
The confidence around this PSG side should be high coming into this round of matches after ensuring their progression through in the Champions League in midweek. We expect to see a dominant showing by the hosts, and they could be good value to cover the (-1) spread.
