Reims vs PSG Prediction 21 Sep 2024

⚽ Ligue 1 - Round 5 Preview

📅 21 Sep 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stade Auguste-Delaune (Reims)

Reims head into this match fresh from back-to-back Ligue 1 victories as underdogs, having defeated Nantes and Rennes 2-1 in their recent outings. A win here would see them equal their best five-round start to a Ligue 1 season in the last 20 years. Under new manager Luka Elsner, Reims are known for high-scoring draws against tough opponents, including PSG, with notable results during his tenures at Le Havre and Amiens. However, Reims have struggled defensively, securing just four clean sheets in their last 27 league matches, a period that began with a 3-0 defeat at home to PSG.

PSG, meanwhile, continue their Ligue 1 dominance, recently showcasing their strength with a 3-1 comeback win over Brest. Under manager Luis Enrique, PSG have won eight consecutive matches across all competitions, further cementing their status as the team to beat. Despite conceding in four of their last five away league games, PSG’s offensive firepower remains unmatched, with the team averaging 2.35 goals in their last 26 away matches, winning 21 of those encounters. Reims will face an uphill battle against a PSG side that hasn’t lost away in Ligue 1 since February 2023.
