PSG vs Reims: French Cup Final Prediction (25.05.2025)

On May 25, 2025, at 2:00 WIB, the final match of the French Cup will take place at the Stade de France in the suburbs of Paris. Paris Saint-Germain and Stade de Reims will battle for the trophy. Bookmakers consider the Parisians as the clear favorites, leaving little chance for their opponents. Reims’ win in regular time is rated at 20.00 odds. But is everything really that clear-cut? Let’s analyze and share our prediction for the match.

PSG

In the second half of the current season, PSG has become the kind of team fans want to support. From a money-driven squad of stars, they’ve evolved into a cohesive unit. Luis Enrique has brought discipline and structure to the game. The addition of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has also proved to be the missing piece of the puzzle. PSG enters the cup final already crowned as Ligue 1 champions. The team has also reached the Champions League final and is the only European club still in the race for the treble this season. This makes the cup match extremely important. Although the Champions League final is ahead, it is still a week away. Therefore, we can expect a full-strength PSG lineup with high motivation.

Reims

For the “Red and Whites,” reaching the French Cup final is already a major achievement. They finished the league in the relegation zone and will face Metz in a playoff for a place in the top division. The cup final takes place just three days after the first leg of that crucial tie. Reims will undoubtedly give their all. A win would grant them a ticket to the Europa League. However, relegation is not something they want either. The big question is whether the club will chase both goals or focus on retaining their Ligue 1 status.

Head-to-head Statistics

Head-to-head stats suggest that Reims might have a chance. They’ve proven to be a tough opponent for PSG, with 5 of their last 6 meetings ending in draws and only one PSG win. Not even the top French clubs can boast such a record against the Ligue 1 giants.

Prediction

Our PSG vs Reims prediction is in favor of the underdogs with a handicap. Stopping Luis Enrique’s side will be tough, and it’s unlikely that Reims, in their current crisis, can pull off an upset. But a thrashing isn’t likely either. PSG won’t want to overexert themselves ahead of the Champions League final. We recommend betting on Reims with a +2.5 handicap at odds of 1.72.
