Prediction
Paris Saint-Germain 3, Reims 1
Money line (ML)
“LEAN” to PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN (-550) because it’s hot and the far better side, but in all reality, the -550 value is a tad too pricy to put much money on.
However, one can get BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+105), and that’s a far better bet. While PSG is the more skilled side, especially with the debut of Messi, its defense has lacked in these blowout matches.
It allowed 2 goals in each of its last two outings. Expect Reims to get at least 1 and PSG to net several.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 3.5 (+105) as PSG will look to showcase its attacking prowess.
Even without F Neymar, PSG has been able to thrash opponents and has easily been the best Ligue 1 side. PSG is arguably the best club in the world, opening up as Champions League favorites this past week.
That said, in each of its last two games, 6 goals were scored. For Reims, it had a 1-1 draw, 0-0 draw and 3-3 draw. If it can hang with PSG, this match will resemble the latter of the three.
