PSG-REIMS PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

PSG (2^nd) is still undefeated after 8 games, they won 4 times and drew 4 times as well.

After 2 initials draws at home, Paris won quite easily last 2 games they played in Parc des Princes. They scored 14 goals and conceded 6.

Reims (5^th) had a difficult start of season with 2 losses in 2 games but they showed a tremendous form since last defeat against Bastia on August 18^th. They won 4 games and drew twice.

However, they are still looking for their first win away (1 loss and 2 draws).

They scored 11 goals and conceded 6.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

After the draw against Marseille 2 weeks ago, Paris has shown that it won’t be that easy to win the title this year despite having the best addition of players within its workforce.

They could have lost the game against Marseille without 2 amazing goals from Ibrahimovic.

Indeed, the team looks totally dependent of Zlatan to score (9 goals scored, 64% of all goals scored by PSG) or unblock a situation. The Swedish forward looked a bit frustated about that at the end of last game and he is definitly expecting more from his teammates.

Carlo Ancelotti will dispose of a full squad for this match with the exeption of Verratti (suspended) and Chantome (injured).

Reims is the real good surprise of this start of the season, in addition to having pretty good results, they showed real quality in the way they are playing and a great state of mind especially when they played at home.

This game against PSG is the opportunity for Reims to confront what is best in the French league, with players who are part of the top players in Europe. This is also an opportunity to prove to themselves that their actual ranking is fully deserved. Reims players will be travelling to Parc des Princes with a full squad and no pressure to try to get points there.

PSG-REIMS PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

PSG is a large favorite here with the best odd offers by Ladbrokes at 1.25, draw is offered at 6.70 and Reims at 17.50 both with Pinnacle.

A meeting more tight than the bookmakers odds suggest.

However, I will give a victory for PSG if and only if Ancelotti's team does not underestimate Reims. Indeed, Reims is a solid team who remained strong on its recent confrontations outside and could surprise.

PSG-REIMS PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Paris supporters are still waiting for a real show in Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 this season.

If Parisians are entering well and strongly in the game, they should be able to score early and to offer a real entertainment to their fans. Ibrahimovic is scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game played at home since the start of the season. Therefore, I would suggest to bet on the Asian handicap PSG – 1.5 at 1.65 with Pinnacle. If you think the game will be more tight, you can try to back on Reims + 1.5 at 2.36 with Pinnacle.

PSG-REIMS PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The over 2.5 goals is favorite here at 1.62 with Ladbrokes, Tipico offers the best odd for the under at 2.40.

The average of goal scored during PSG games is 2.4 goals, it is 2.1 goals for Reims.

PSG should push forward to score many goals in this game, Reims is playing very well in counter-attack this season and could also score one or more goals here so I would recommend to bet on the over for this match.
