Two sides that currently sit towards the top of the Ligue 1 standings will lock horns in France this weekend, as PSG look for a fifth straight victory in the competition when they travel to Reims. But, could the hosts cause a slight shock in Ligue 1?
Ligue 1 Preview
It has been a decent start to the new season for both Reims and PSG, as both sides already sit inside the European positions at this early stage. However, PSG will be looking for a vital win this weekend, which could see them move to the top of the standings. The Parisians come into this match in excellent recent form, as they have won each of their previous four matches in the competition.
Luis Enrique’s side has also scored more goals than any other side in the competition this term, and they have suffered just a single defeat against their opening eleven matches. PSG’s winning sequence was maintained last weekend, as they easily secured maximum points in front of their home fans against Montpellier. Lee Kang In, Warren Zaire Emery, and Vitinha scored the goals.
Reims look like a major player in the race for European qualification this term, as they have started the 2023-24 season in excellent form. The French side have won six of their opening eleven matches this term, and they have scored an impressive 17 goals. A victory for the hosts this weekend could move them up to third in the standings.
They come into this showdown in fine recent form, as they have gone three without a defeat, and have picked up victories in each of their previous two matches in the competition. The latest of those was a battling success on the road against Nantes, with Junya Ito scoring the winner with 15 minutes remaining.
Reims vs PSG Head to Head
PSG have dominated the previous fixtures between these sides, as they have won eleven of the last 18. Over the same period, Reims have picked up just three wins against the Parisians. However, each of the previous two have ended in draws.
Reims vs PSG Prediction
This should be a high-quality match in France between two of the most talented sides on Saturday. However, PSG’s dominant overall record against Reims looks hard to ignore. Therefore, we will be siding with the away side landing maximum points.
