PSG – Reims. Mark O’Haire’s prediction (VIDEO)
PSG confirmed their place as serious Champions League contenders with a confident and esteemed display when beating Chelsea 2-1 in Paris on Tuesday night.
The defending French champions were sharp in attack and although the Blues did force Les Rouge-et-Bleu’s backline into a few blind allies on the counter-attack, the runaway Ligue 1 leaders were deserved winners.
Now Laurent Blanc’s men return to domestic action as they bid to continue their record-breaking ways in the French top tier. PSG will be looking to enhance their French top-flight record of 35 games unbeaten (W31-D4-L0) when Reims arrive on Saturday.
Real Madrid are the only side to beat PSG this season and across their last 23 matches, Les Parisiens have W21-D2-L0. PSG’s form at their Parc des Princes home has been equalling devastating – they’ve W26-D6-L0 to form their second longest invincible streak in Ligue 1.
Since Laurent Blanc arrived at the club, PSG have W40-D9-L1 in home domestic league fixtures – 34 (68%) of those encounters were delivered with wins by at least a two-goal margin with 19 (38%) arriving by a margin of three goals or more. So I’ll back them with a -2 handicap at 2.60 quotes for the visit of Reims.
Lowly visitors Reims have W2-D4-L4 in their past 10 outings and their W2-D3-L6 road record across their most recent 11 matches has also contributed to their season of struggle. With five of their eight losses under Olivier Guegan’s tenure arriving by a margin of at least two goals, a repeat on Saturday looks more than likely.
