PSG v Reims Betting Tips [23 January 2022]

PSG still have a healthy lead in Ligue 1 but two draws in their last four matches have seen it sliced considerably. They will play host to Stade Reims in their next league game, looking to further open up their lead. Going into this game PSG have 50 points at the top of the league standings while Reims are 14th with 24 points. PSG will miss Neymar and Lionel Messi in this game as they are out injured, while Achraf Hakimi, Abdou Diallo and Idrissa Gueye are at the AFCON with their national teams. They are unbeaten in 12 Ligue 1 matches, though in recent times they’ve been shaky, drawing three of their last five games in the league. In their 12 unbeaten league matches, PSG have managed just four clean sheets and that remains a big concern going forward. Both sides have scored in seven of PSG’s last 10 matches in the league.

Stade Reims are coming from a 1-0 loss at home to Metz; it was their second straight winless outing and also the second straight game in which they failed to score. They however have three clean sheets in the last five matches. Reims haven’t managed more than a goal in their last five matches, while all of their last six matches have ended with under 2.5 goals. In Ligue 1, Reims have managed just five wins in their 21 matches this season. In matches against PSG, Reims have suffered four straight losses ahead of this one and in those four matches, they’ve failed to score a goal.

Reims have four straight losses to PSG and they have scored a goal in those four matches. They go to this game without a very good scoring run, failing to score in the last two league games and managing more than a goal in just one of the last five. PSG have a good run in the league at home and going to this game they have three straight clean sheets. They are unbeaten in 13 league games at home, with six clean sheets and we are backing them to win this too with a clean sheet.
