PSG will resume their Ligue 1 campaign after nearly two weeks at home to Reims on Sunday (January 28), looking to bounce back from their shock loss to Rennes.
Les Rennais pulled off a stunning 1-0 win over the Parisians, with Hamari Traore scoring the winner in the 65th minute. It was only their second loss of the league season, allowing Lens to trim the gap between them and the Parisians to just three points.

Reims are down in 11th place of the Ligue 1 standings with just 25 points in 19 games, winning just five times. Interestingly, the Reds and Whites are unbeaten in their last 11 top-flight games since a 3-0 thumping loss against AS Monaco.
