Scrambling Reims will hope to pull off a small shock when they welcome enterprising Paris Saint Germain in the next league fixture. It’s 17th vs 1st and the home supporters will have low confidence.

Insights:
  • Reims have the most conceded goals in the second half (15) in Ligue 1
  • Paris Saint Germain have the most scored goals (28) in Ligue 1

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Champions League. That game was also an away game, at Benfica. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
