Reims vs Monaco Predictions

• Monaco’s away matches have averaged just two goals per game so far this term.
• Six of the last nine meetings have produced fewer than three goals.
• Monaco were in European action during the week as they lost 1-0 at home to Ferencvaros.

Reims need to improve

With the Ligue 1 drop zone being increased to four teams, the hosts could not have picked a worse season to be hovering around the relegation spots after managing to secure just one victory across their opening seven matches. That win came on the road and home turf hasn’t really given them any kind of edge so far this term. They have conceded in all three home games but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them keep compact and tight here.

That may be an astute game plan given visitors Monaco have hardly been pulling up any trees themselves so far this campaign. They arrive here off the back of a disappointing 1-0 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros and it marked another occasion in which Philippe Clement’s men were wasteful in front of goal.

Goals will be few and far between

With Monaco in midweek action, not firing on all cylinders and the hosts looking to frustrate, we don’t envisage an abundance of goals here. Six of the last nine meetings have produced fewer than three goals and that’s what we will lean towards happening here.
