Reims will welcome league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Stade Auguste-Delaune II in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The hosts are in sixth place in the league standings with seven points and trail the defending champions, who have a 100% record in the league thus far, by five points.
Les rouges et blancs are unbeaten in the league since a 2-0 home loss to Lille in their campaign opener. They made it two wins on the trot last week with a hard-fought 2-1 away triumph over Nantes. Goals from Marshall Munetsi and Keito Nakamura helped them complete their comeback in that match.
Les Parisiens resumed their league campaign after the international break with a comfortable 3-1 comeback home win over Brest last week. Ousmane Dembélé bagged a brace on either side of a Fabián Ruiz goal in the second half.
They extended their winning streak in their UEFA Champions League campaign opener on Wednesday, with a 1-0 home win over Girona. It was a close game and goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga's 90th-minute own goal helped them to a narrow win.

Reims vs PSG Prediction
Les rouges et blancs have seen an upturn in form and have recorded back-to-back 2-1 wins. Nonetheless, they have failed to score in six of their last eight games in this league fixture and are winless at home against the defending champions since 2019.
Joseph Okumu, Gabriel Moscardo, and Abdoul Kone are injured while Amadou Koné is suspended for this match. Mohamed Daramy is back in training after a lengthy injury spell and Luka Elsner might start the striker from the bench.
The Parisians have enjoyed a great start to their title defense, recording four consecutive wins while scoring 16 goals in these games. They are unbeaten in their last 26 away games in Ligue 1, recording 21 wins, and are strong favorites.
Luis Enrique remains without the services of long-term absentees. Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe and Gonçalo Ramos. Gianluigi Donnarumma suffered an injury against Brest last week and is expected to be out. Marco Asensio was injured against Girona and is not an option in this match.
Considering the defending champions' impressive away form in Ligue 1 and goalscoring record this season, we back the visitors to record a comfortable win.
