PSG, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 3-1 Ligue 1 victory over AJ Auxerre.

In that match, Paris Saint-Germain managed 67% possession and 21 shots at goal with 9 on target. For Paris Saint-Germain, the goalscorers were Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (59', 88') and Marquinhos (67'). Auxerre got 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Lassine Sinayoko (30') was the scorer for AJ Auxerre.

It has been all too rare in recent times that Paris Saint-Germain have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Paris Saint-Germain have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals during that time. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this match, however.

📋 Team News: PSG

We think that Les Rouge-et-Bleu may well use the 4-3-3 system in the match featuring Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and K. Kvaratskhelia.

📰 Team News: Reims

Reims boss Samba Diawara has a number of players out of action. Mamadou Diakhon (Injury to the ankle), Mohamed Daramy (Knee injury) and Reda Khadra (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.

We reckon that Les rouges et blancs could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Yehvann Diouf, Hiroki Sekine, Joseph Okumu, Cedric Kipre, Sergio Akieme, Mory Gbane, V. Atangana Edoa, John Patrick, Keito Nakamura, Junya Ito and Jordan Pefok.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, Reims have the capability to find the net against this Paris Saint-Germain team, but it probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 win for Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.
