The Stade Bollaert-Delelis was the site of PSG’s first Ligue 1 defeat of the 2022-23 season, with its occupants Lens serving up a 3-1 humbling of the champions earlier in January, but there would be no Coupe de France giant-killing when the capital club and sixth-tier Pays de Cassel locked horns in the North.
Five-star Kylian Mbappe came up with a quintet of goals against the minnows, while Neymar and Carlos Soler also got in on the act in a 7-0 romping, where Galtier was not afraid to field the majority of his big hitters in order to avoid the shock of all shocks.
Setting up a tantalising last-16 tie with Classique rivals Marseille, PSG – who have also returned from a Saudi Arabia sojourn with a 5-4 win over Cristiano Ronaldo and the Riyadh All-Stars XI – now set out to return to winning ways in Ligue 1 after being nullified by a depleted Rennes side 1-0 at Roazhon Park on January 15.
Galtier’s champions still boast a three-point lead over Lens at the top of the table, and while Sang et Or could move level on points with PSG if they beat Troyes on Saturday, their inferior goal difference means that Les Parisiens should not be in any danger of losing first place for now.
PSG’s customary domestic title is far from a guarantee, though – with Marseille also just five points behind the capital giants – but they have won each of their last seven Ligue 1 contests at the Parc des Princes and are unbeaten in 31 top-flight home games since a 1-0 loss to Lille in April 2021.

PSG vs Reims Prediction
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Reims
Still is yet to experience the disappointment of losing a competitive game as first-team manager, but the 30-year-old’s hot streak will surely come to an end at the Parc des Princes fortress.
Even the Messi-Mbappe-Neymar trident will have to be patient against a well-drilled Reims backline, but the champions can still find their way through more than once to maintain their lead at the summit.

PSG vs Reims Team News
PSG could once again be without two players for the visit of Reims, as Presnel Kimpembe is yet to return to team training, and Nordi Mukiele is facing a few weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring issue sustained against Rennes. Marco Verratti is back with the ball at his feet and could play a part, though.
Kimpembe recently hit the headlines after losing vice-captain duties to Mbappe – claiming that he only heard about the club’s decision through the media – and Galtier should stick with the pairing of Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos in his absence.
Amid claims that he has performed a U-turn on his decision to sign a new PSG contract, Lionel Messi was unsurprisingly rested against Pays de Cassel but will now return as part of the fearsome front three.
Similarly, Reims could also be without just the two players in Nathanael Mbuku and Noah Jean Holm, although Thibault de Smet missed the win over Les Herbiers with a foot injury and is also a doubt for the contest.
PSG vs Reims Lineups
Paris Saint-Germain:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Ramos, Mendes; Vitinha, Verratti, Ruiz; Messi; Mbappe, Neymar
Reims:
Diouf; Foket, Agbadou, Abdelhamid, Busi; Munetsi, Matusiwa; Ito, Zeneli, Flips; Balogun
PSG vs Reims Odds
Diouf has been sensational for Reims in between the sticks so far this season. The 23-year-old has made a total of 47 saves in 12 games in Ligue 1, and has been truly consistent with his performances. Diouf has to be at the top of his game against a star studded PSG, and needs to avoid any mistakes which can cost his team.
