PSG vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 14/05/2021, 16:44  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

PSG haven’t had the best season and after their elimination from the Champions League, they aren’t favorites to win the Ligue 1 this season. They have 76 points, in second place going to the second-last game of the season. PSG will be hosting 13th placed Stade Reims, who have managed 42 points so far. This is a must win clash for PSG after dropping points in their last game, as they drew 1-1 with Rennes. Presnel Kimpembe was sent off late in that game and will be suspended for this clash. In that game PSG really missed Kylian Mbappe but the French international returned for the French Cup game against Montpellier, scoring twice. PSG needed post match penalties to see off Montpellier to advance to the French Cup final after a 2-2 draw. They have no clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions and in three of the last five they’ve conceded two or more goals. At home, PSG have lost three of the last five in the league, though they recovered to win the last two.

Reims go to this game winless in the last six matches and are coming from a 1-0 loss at home to Monaco. They’ve failed to score in three of their last five matches and being five points above the relegation playoff spot, a point from their remaining two matches will confirm their stay in Ligue 1. They have drawn four of their last six matches and will need one more here but facing a PSG side with backs against the wall makes it a tough mission. They have just two wins in their last 14 Ligue 1 matches and in their 18 Ligue 1 away matches, they have managed just five wins. Reims are unbeaten in the last five away league matches though, winning two and drawing three.
