PSG take on Reims in Ligue 1 this weekend

The Ligue 1 is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as PSG take on Reims on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Reims are in 14th place in the Ligue 1 standings and are yet to hit their stride this season. The away side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Metz last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have excelled this season. The Parisians eased past Brest by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result this weekend.

PSG vs Reims Prediction

PSG have managed only nine points in their last five Ligue 1 matches and have suffered a definitive scoring slump over the past month. The Parisians are 11 points ahead of second-placed Nice at the moment and will look to extend their lead this weekend.

Reims can pack a punch on their day and will need to be at their best in this match. PSG have a better team on paper, however, and should be able to take all three points away from this fixture.

Prediction: PSG 2-0 Reims
