Their most recent game took place on August 29, 2021, when the Parisians won with a final result of a simple 2-0 away at Stade Auguste Delaune in Reims. It promises to be an even more exciting clash as they meet for the second time in the 2021/2022 Ligue 1 season.
PSG probablelineup
Abdou Diallo, Achraf Hakimi, and Idrissa Gueye have been ruled out due to their participation at the 2021Africa Cup of Nations, while Juan Bernat is still recovering from COVID-19, and Neymar and Georginio Wijnaldum are all still hurt and on the sidelines.
With Wijnaldum now absent, Danilo Pereira and Leandro Paredes should battle for a midfield berth, while Keylor Navas should be fit to return to the matchday squad given that Sergio Rico has joined Mallorca on loan. Mauricio Pochettino would hope to see Lionel Messi return to play, but Mbappe is a fresh doubt due to a groin problem, with a decision on his participation expected this weekend.
PSG possible starting XI:
Donnarumma; Kehrer, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Herrera, Pereira, Verratti; Di Maria, Icardi, Messi.
Reims probable lineup
Since Guinea Bissau disappointingly crashed outfrom the AFCON, Moreto Cassama will shortly return to Reims, although Ghislain Konan, Moussa Doumbia, and El Bilal Toure are still in the competition. Hugo Ekitike will return from suspension to lead the line, while manager Oscar Garcia may be inclined to chooseMbuku or Alexis Flips in place of Martin Adeline.
Reims are lacking midfield depth at the moment with Marshall Munetsi, Azor Matusiwa, Valon Berisha, and Arber Zeneli all ruled out as a result of injuries. However, theRed and Whiteshave addressed the issueby adding Jens Cajuste from Midtjylland during the January transfer window.
Reims possible starting XI:
Rajkovic; Gravillon, Abdelhamid, Faes; Foket, Cajuste, Lopy, Locko; Kebbal, Mbuku; Ekitike.
