PSG make Ligue 1 return against Reims after UCL win.
Reims, riding a wave of confidence from a three-match unbeaten run, face the formidable task of challenging Paris Saint-Germain's perfect Ligue 1 start and 26-match unbeaten streak in Saturday's enticing showdown at Stade Auguste-Delaune II.
Reims
Reims began their season on a poor note, losing against Lille at home in their opening game. However, the Red and Whites have since picked things up, first settling for a 2-2 draw before securing 2-1 wins over Rennes and Nantes in their last two matches.
Luka Elsner's side is now in sixth place with seven points (2W, 1D, 1L) as they prepare to face table-topping PSG. The team is aiming to become the first to take points off the reigning champions this season, but Elsner does not want this to be their main objective.
"Being the first to take points against PSG? We are mainly attached to ourselves and our performances,” Elsner stated. “We are on two victories and we would like to continue this dynamic, at least by delivering a great match," he added.
Reims have won four of their last six league games (4W, 1D, 1L) and three of their last four home games (3W, 0D, 1L). However, they have not won in eight straight games against Les Parisiens in Ligue 1 (0W, 3D, 5L).
A 4—3—3 formation featuring Oumar Diakité, Yaya Fofana, and Junya Ito in attack is expected for this clash. Amadou Koné is suspended after receiving a four-match ban for the challenge on Lille’s Angel Gomes, which resulted in the England youth international being hospitalized after he was stretchered off.
Paris Saint Germain
PSG were in action during the week as they began their 2024-25 UEFA Champions League campaign against Girona. The Parisians secured a 1-0 victory, thanks to a 90th-minute own goal from Girona's goalkeeper, Paulo Gazzaniga.
“Today we showed that we're a team of warriors,” said Luis Enrique, who had plenty of praise for his team after the UCL win. This victory maintained their 100% record across all competitions, with four wins from as many Ligue 1 matches.
In their last league outing, PSG triumphed 3-1 over Brest, leaving them at the top of the table with 12 points. They are currently two points ahead of Marseille and Monaco, who sit in second and third place, respectively.
PSG will return on the road this weekend to take on Reims while aiming to extend their 26-match unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, the longest in the history of the French top-flight. A win on Saturday will see PSG collect 15 points from their first five Ligue 1 games for the fourth time in the 21st century.
A 4—3—3 formation with Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, and Bradley Barcola in attack is expected.
