On Oct 8th, Reims will host Paris Saint Germain in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. Reims sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Troyes. Folarin Balogun struck first for Reims in the 13th minute on a feed from Junya Ito, then Odobert tied it up for Troyes in the 51st minute . They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Paris Saint Germain recorded a 2-1 win against Nice. Lionel Messi struck first for Paris Saint Germain in the 29th minute, then Gaëtan Laborde tied it up for Nice in the 47th minute. Paris Saint Germain is on a hot streak lately, having won 8 of their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Paris Saint Germain won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Paris Saint Germain is fortunate enough to have Kylian Mbappé in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. Reims’s top weapon lately has been Folarin Balogun, who has three goals in the last five matches
