Stade de Reims are set to host Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Monday in their next Ligue 1 fixture.
Stade de Reims come into this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Metz last Sunday at the Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien. A brace from young Senegalese forward Ibrahima Niane sealed the deal for Vincent Hognon's side. Attacker Boulaye Dia scored a penalty for Stade de Reims, who also had midfielder Marshall Munetsi sent off early in the second half.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, beat OGC Nice 3-0 last Sunday at the Allianz Riviera. Goals from French superstar Kylian Mbappe, Argentine forward Angel Di Maria and defender Marquinhos sealed the win for Thomas Tuchel's side.

Stade de Reims vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
Stade de Reims are yet to find their feet this league season, and have not yet won a game. Much will rely on the likes of Arber Zeneli and Boulaye Dia, who look likely to lead the line for them.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, have not had the most auspicious of starts either. Having lost their first two games, they have found form, and with Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Angel Di Maria all likely to play together soon, Thomas Tuchel's side look close to being back at their very best.
PSG have one of the most talented squads in Europe, and in Thomas Tuchel a highly capable manager. They are the clear favourites to take the three points in this match.
Prediction: Stade de Reims 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain
