Monaco vs Reims Predictions

• Monaco have lost just one of their last five games in all competitions
• Both teams have scored in three of Reims’s last five league fixtures
• Two of Monaco’s last three wins have been by 2-1 scorelines

Expect Monaco to continue winning run

Monaco finished last year on a high with three wins from four Ligue 1 fixtures in December and, after progressing to the next round of the French Cup on Sunday, they can keep their fine run going with victory over Reims.

The principality club took down Montpellier, Rennes and Toulouse last month before beating Lens on penalties in the French Cup round of 64 last time out and they are only seven points off top spot in Ligue 1.

They have second-placed Nice in their sights and have the opportunity to leapfrog the club from Cote d’Azur, at least for the evening, on Saturday.

Reims can get on the scoresheet

Reims are no pushovers under Will Still but have found matches with the league’s big guns tough in the last couple of months, losing to PSG, Rennes, Nice and Lens since the start of November.

Monaco can make home advantage count and secure the win but this could be a high-scoring match and both teams to score is worth coupling with a home win, having clicked in ten of Reims’s 17 matches.

Monaco beat both Rennes and Toulouse 2-1 last month and that looks the best pick when it comes to the correct score.
