Paris Saint-Germain vs Stade de Reims: Preview , Prediction and predictable lineups

The clash between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Stade de Reims, scheduled for January 25, 2025, presents a compelling encounter in Ligue 1. PSG enters the match as heavy favorites, boasting an impressive record of nine consecutive victories and an unbeaten streak extending to eleven matches. Their home performance has been particularly dominant this season, with eight wins out of nine games at the Parc des Princes. In contrast, Stade de Reims finds itself in a precarious situation, currently enduring a seven-game winless streak—their worst stretch in nearly four years . This stark contrast in form sets the stage for what is anticipated to be an intriguing clash.

Paris Saint-Germain return to Ligue 1 action on Saturday night, buoyed by their midweek heroics in the UEFA Champions League. Luis Enrique’s men produced a scintillating comeback to defeat Manchester City 4-2, putting them on the brink of securing a knockout-stage berth. The nine-time Ligue 1 champions are in imperious form, riding a nine-match winning streak across all competitions.

Watch for live 

Domestically, PSG appear untouchable, having amassed 46 points from 18 games and maintaining an unbeaten record this season. Their latest league triumph came in a come-from-behind win over Lens, while title challengers Marseille faltered, extending PSG’s lead at the summit to nine points.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Lucas Beraldo, Pacho, Hernandez, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Mayulu, Fabian Ruiz; Asensio, Goncalo Ramos, Lee

Reims possible starting lineup: Diouf; Aurelio Buta, Okumu, Kipre, Sangui; Munetsi, Atangana Edoa, Teuma; Ito, Diakhon, Nakamura

PSG's injury list is almost empty, with only Mbaye sidelined. The Parisian crowd is eagerly awaiting the debut of star signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but perhaps for the Georigan, who missed several matches for Napoli, the time is not yet right. For Reims, Fofana, Kone, Darami, and Hadra will be unavailable due to injury. A significant blow for the "Red and Whites" was the departure of key defender Agbadou to Wolverhampton.

As for lineups, although explicit details are not provided in previews, one can anticipate that PSG will field a strong contingent featuring key players who have been instrumental throughout their winning streak. Conversely, Reims will need to rely on tactical discipline and resilience from their squad to withstand the attacking prowess of PSG. Ultimately, this matchup encapsulates not only the dynamics of current form but also highlights the unpredictable nature of football where surprises can emerge even amidst overwhelming odds.
