Preview

On September 21, 2024, the Stade Auguste Delon in Reims will host the match of the 5th round of Ligue 1 between Reims and PSG.

Reims
The wards of the new coach Lukas Elsner, who arrived in the summer, started the season with a home defeat to Lille (0:2), but then gained good form, winning two matches and drawing one match. Particularly impressive were the victories over Rennes (2:1) and Nantes (2:1), both achieved by strong-willed efforts after conceding goals. Reims is known for its resilience and character, which may also be evident in the upcoming meeting with PSG. The team has become an inconvenient opponent for the Parisians, having managed to draw three times in the last four matches.

PSG
Luis Enrique's Parisians have continued their dominance of Ligue 1, winning four of their four games, with an overall goal difference of 16-3. Following the departure of Kylian Mbappe, the club has found new leaders in Barcol and Neves, who have been in brilliant form. Despite confident wins over Lille and Brest, PSG face a tough period ahead, including Champions League meetings with Arsenal, but they will be hoping to continue their winning streak.

A tense game is expected, with Reims looking to capitalise on their status as an awkward opponent, and PSG looking to continue their perfect start to the season.
