Prediction: 2-1
Reims
Olympique Marseille will be looking to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Rennes when they host Reims at their Stade Velodrome on Matchday 16. OM have been producing excellent displays in the first half of the season, but they do not seem to be capable of putting an end to PSG’s dominance in the Ligue 1. Anyhow, Andre-Villas Boas’ men are still seen as one of the main candidates for the Champions League spot.
Defender Caleta-Car returns from suspension, but midfielder Gueye will have to serve his ban against Reims. Left-back Amavi suffered an injury in the midweek clash, and he is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s game. Reims continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and seeing that they conceded nine goals in total in the previous three games on the road, home win should be considered. Greece international Anastasios Donis is the only absentee in the away team.
