Paris Saint-Germain Preview – Another easy home win for the runaway leaders?
Paris Saint-Germain lost out to Lille in a fascinating title race last term, but Paris are miles clear at the top of Ligue 1 right now. After 15 wins, five draws and one defeat, Mauricio Pochettino’s boys are 11 points above second-place Nice after 21 games played.
The Parisians are unbeaten in all competitions since losing to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a UEFA Champions League affair back in November. Since then, PSG have picked up six wins and have drawn four of ten league and cup fixtures. Their only league loss of the campaign was a 2-0 defeat at Rennes in October.
After four draws from five Ligue 1 matches, the leaders got back on track with a comfortable 2-0 win over Brest at the Parc des Princes last time out. Can they follow that up with another routine home victory on Sunday?
Reims Preview – Can Garcia’s boys avoid a heavy defeat in the capital?
Oscar Garcia’s Reims are in 14th spot after 21 matches. So far, the Red and Whites have won five, drawn nine and lost seven. They are currently just seven points above the bottom three.
Reims were narrowly beaten at home by Metz last weekend, but they had been on a decent unbeaten run before then. The Red and Whites won five, drew two and lost one of eight in all competitions. They had also lost just one of ten.

Paris have an excellent recent record in this fixture, winning each of the last four meetings without conceding a single goal. Reims did secure a shock win at the Parc des Princes in September 2019, though they have won just two of the past 13 meetings.
Back in August, PSG picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. The outstanding Kylian Mbappe was the hero, scoring in both halves to win Paris the points.

Kylian Mbappe scored both goals in PSG’s 2-0 win in Reims back in August. The 23-year-old, who has netted five in his last four, is priced at 4/7 to score anytime in this one.
