Overview
PSG have gone through the 2024-2025 season with unexpected success. They have won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League final and the French Cup early. With their high form, coach Luis Enrique's team can completely think about the treble in this year's tournament.
Before thinking about the Champions League final against Inter Milan, PSG had to defeat Reims. In fact, this is not a balancing match. Although they made it to the final match, Reims almost only had to face weak teams like Angers in the quarter-finals or Cannes in the semi-finals.
In addition, Reims are also 16th in the Ligue 1 rankings this season. They have to participate in 2 upgrading and relegation play-off matches against Metz from Ligue 2. Reims should probably focus on the goal of staying in the league, instead of dreaming of the prospect of overthrowing PSG in the French Cup final.
For PSG, they are superior in every aspect, from personnel, form to class and bravery compared to Reims. A big win will not only help Luis Enrique's team win their second title of the season, but also boost the team's confidence ahead of the Champions League final.
In terms of head-to-head record, PSG have not won any of their last three meetings with Reims. The two Ligue 1 meetings between the two sides this season have ended in a 1-1 draw.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will head into the French Cup final with confidence after scoring twice against Auxerre last weekend. Meanwhile, Reims' Keito Nakamura has scored in both of his Ligue 1 meetings this season.
Personnel situation
After going through the final match of Ligue 1 without any personnel losses, Luis Enrique seems to have a squad that is fully capable of choosing.
On the other side of the front line, Reims will continue to be without the services of the injured pair Mohamed Daramy and Reda Khadra.
Expected lineup:
PSG: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz, Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
Reims: Diouf, Sekine, Okumu, Kipre, Akieme, Patrick, Gbane, Atangana, Ito, Siebatcheu, Nakamura.
The match between PSG and Reims takes place at 2:00 am on April 25 (Vietnam time).
