Team news

PSG news

Lionel Messi has returned to training and may be a viable alternative for the hosts.
On Saturday, both Angel Di Maria and Gianluigi Donnarumma made their comebacks for the hosts; both should be back in the starting XI here.
Nuno Mendes should preserve his spot in defence with Juan Bernat on the mend and Abdou Diallo at the AFCON.
Sergio Ramos could make an appearance here, despite the Spaniard's recent stint on the bench.
Julian Draxler was fit enough to start on Saturday, but he is unlikely to be selected in this lineup.

Reims news

Despite losing to the struggling Metz at the weekend, expect nothing in the way of changes for the visitors, who have few options for rotation due to AFCON and several long-term injuries.
In midfield, Alexis Flips could be a viable option if Dion Lopy is benched.
Hugo Ekitiké's return from suspension will be welcomed by the visitors, but it is unlikely to have an impact on the Champagne side's prospects.

PSG vs Reims predictions

PSG have not been particularly impressive in the New Year, at least in Ligue 1, but they have continued to grind out results, and this could be the case again against a Reims side noted for its tenacity.

Reims aren't in great shape, but their position seven points above the relegation zone means that, given the hardship of traveling to the Parc des Princes and their long list of absentees, they are likely to regard this encounter as a free hit.

Prediction: PSG 2-0 Reims
