Prediction of Reims vs PSG, Reims meets PSG guests at Stade Auguste-Delaune in on Monday 30 August 2021 at 12:15 AM IST .
PSG will look to maintain their 100% record in the new Ligue 1 season when they take on Reims at the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Sunday evening.
Argentine superstar Leo Messi is ready for his Ligue 1 debut, and, no doubt, the former Barca forward will make life difficult for opposing defenders.
As Neymar is expected to make his season debut this weekend as well, anything but a routine away win would be a huge surprise.
The likes of Sergio Ramos, Juan Bernat, Layvin Kurzawa, Pablo Sarabia and Mauro Icardi are all sidelined through injury. Reims, on the other hand, have drawn each of their first three league games, but PSG will likely pose a much bigger threat to the hosts than their previous rivals.
In their last meeting in the French top flight les Parisiens beat Les Rouges et Blancs 4-0, and we expect history to repeat itself. Reims boss Oscar Garcia will watch the game from the stands due to suspension.
Reims head into this clash following a 1-1 Ligue 1 draw vs FC Metz.
In that match, Reims managed to have 42% possession and 12 shots on target with 3 of them on target. Reims' scorer was Marshall Munetsi (7′). FC Metz got 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Habib Maïga (14′) scored a goal for FC Metz.
It was rare lately for Reims to show defensive steel. The reality is that Reims have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of the previous 6 matches, conceding 11 goals in the process.
PSG head into the game after a 2-4 Ligue 1 win against Brest in their last game.
In that match, Paris Saint-Germain had 74% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. For Paris Saint-Germain, goals were scored by Ander Herrera (23′), Kylian Mbappé (36′), Idrissa Gueye (73′) and Ngel Di María (90′). Stade Brestois 29 has 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Franck Honorat (42′) and Steve Mounié (85′) scored for Brest.
Demonstrating their desire for fruitful matches, goals have been scored 23 times in the previous six matches in which Paris Saint-Germain dispatched their squad, resulting in an average of 3.83 goals per game. The opposing team gets 5 of this total. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether such a trend can be replicated in this game.
Ahead of this encounter, Paris Saint-Germain are unbeaten in their last 10 away matches in the league. Impressive, to say the least.
A look at their last head-to-head clash going back to 26/09/2018 shows that Reims have won 2 of them and PSG 4, with the number of matches drawn to 0.
In all, 20 goals were scored between the two sides in this match, with 6 from Les rouges et blancs and 14 coming from Les Rouge-et-Bleu. This gives the average number of goals per game equal to 3.33.
The previous league match between these clubs was Ligue 1 match day 37 on 16/05/2021 when Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Reims finished.
On that occasion, Paris Saint-Germain managed to control 57% possession and 28 attempts on goal with 10 on target. The goalscorers are Neymar Jr (13′), Kylian Mbappe (24′), Marquinhos (68′) and Moise Kean (89′).

At the other end, Reims may struggle to score on their own, but we also like them converting at least once here.
We predict a 1-3 win for Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the game.
