PSG vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

Three days after the reception of Manchester City, a match which it had to win to have a good operation with a view to the play-offs in the Champions League - the equivalent of the 16th finals -, PSG is at it again. The Ile-de-France club remains successful in Ligue 1 ahead of Saint-Etienne 2-1 and Lens 1-2 , where it conceded the opener. After 18 days, the three-time reigning French champion is the logical leader of the Championship with 9 points ahead of its rival and runner-up, Marseille. It has been undefeated in all competitions since November 26 and won the Champions Trophy at the start of the month at the expense of Monaco 1-0. Reims is going through a zone of turbulence in Ligue 1.

The resident club at the Auguste-Delaune stadium is losing positions in the standings for several weeks, the fault of an ongoing series of 7 matches without a victory in the exercise 4 draws, 3 defeats, and finds itself 13th, 4 points behind the virtual play-off. He launched the 2025 chapter with setbacks against Saint-Etienne 3-1 and Nice 2-4 then was unable to recover last Sunday at home against Le Havre 1-1 , poorly ranked yet in poor form. At the same time, Luka Elsner and his men are enjoying their journey in the Coupe de France. They knocked off Monaco 1-1, 3-1 tab last midweek on penalties and will face Bourgoin-Jallieu National 3 for a place in the quarter-finals. 

PSG should be almost complete for this meeting since the holders Marquinhos, Hakimi and Dembélé (10 goals in Ligue 1) are back. The young winger Mbaye, injured, is the only player kept in the infirmary. It should also be noted the probable new absences of the undesirables Skriniar, who hopes to find a way out this winter, and Kolo Muani, in the process of leaving for Juventus. Flagship recruit Kvaratskhelia should experience his first since his arrival from Naples. As a left winger, he should seriously complicate the situation of Barcola (11 goals in the Championship), who offered victory to the Parisians in Lens after more than two months without scoring in Ligue 1. The Rémois travel without the absentees of long-standing Khadra and Daramy. We must add to these packages those of midfielders Fofana (substitute) and Am.

Koné (potential starter), injured. Still in the middle sector, the Brazilian Moscardo, on loan from PSG and used in only 4 matches this season, joined his team to play in the Copa America U20. Several movements have fueled club news in the current transfer window. The defense lost captain Agbadou (Wolverhampton) and replacements Busi (NAC Breda) and De Smet (Paris FC). It was reinforced at the same time by the central Jeng and the Japanese right-back Sekine, who are applying for a first call-up. The third recruit, Patrick (middle), did not come into play against Le Havre for his first in the group.
