Ligue 1 : SDR vs PSG
Paris Saint-Germain will look to maintain momentum in Ligue 1 as they host the underperforming Reims at Stade Auguste-Delaune on Sunday night. Thomas Tuchel's teachers and students continued their consecutive defeats to start the season with consecutive victories and welcomed a Reims team that they have not won yet.
On the home side, midfielder Wout Faes was sent off during the match against Angers and will therefore be sidelined during the champions' visit, while midfielder Moussa Doumbia was another absent due to a shoulder injury. Teen striker El Bilal Toure has had 1 goal in four appearances this season and is expected to lead the attack for Reims, who has scored at least 1 goal in each match against PSG in the last Ligue 1. They have won 2 of their most recent meetings with PSG and lost only 2 of their 11 home matches in Ligue 1 to the Paris team. However, they entered this match in poor form, losing the last 3 games since drawing Monaco 2-2 at the opening weekend - even that match they wasted a 2-goal lead. However, bigger than that, all of last season's attempts to take sixth place have been clouded with defeat to Hungary's Fehervar in the Europa League qualifiers on Thursday. After the worst possible start to their campaign, David Guion's team needed to get inspiration from somewhere.
