On Saturday night, Reims host PSG at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II as PSG look to extend their recent winning run in Ligue One.
The home team currently reside in 17th place in the Ligue One table, having picked up just seven points from their opening nine matches in the French top-flight. A 2-2 draw at Troyes last time out means that Reims have failed to win in four league games, having won just once in the league this season.

A lack of clean sheets has not helped Reims pick up points, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in Ligue One this season.
Reims have a woeful home record that dates back to last season, as they have won just one of their last 12 home games in the French top-flight.
A 3-0 defeat at home to Monaco in their last home game means that they have now lost five of their previous seven league matches on home soil.
The reigning champions have unsurprisingly made a flying start to their Ligue One title defence, winning eight of their nine league games and remaining unbeaten.
A 2-1 win over Nice last time out means that PSG are 18 games unbeaten in Ligue One since suffering a 3-0 defeat at Monaco in March.
Considering the tremendous attacking talent in the visitor's squad, it is of little surprise that PSG has scored at least two goals in ten of their last 13 Ligue One matches. Argentinian legend Lionel Messi has scored in back-to-back league games for the visitors.
PSG are unbeaten in their last nine away matches in the French top-flight, including claiming eight victories. They have also scored at least two goals in eight of their previous nine away games in Ligue One.
Forebet predicts that this game will go with the form book, and PSG will record a win in a high-scoring encounter.
