Command Analysis
Reims
FranceSix-time French champion and two-time UEFA Champions' Cup finalist had a terrible performance in the Europa League and failed to get past the qualification round.
Team also underperformed in the French Cup, where Red-Whites were eliminated by Valanciennes from Ligue 2 (3:4) in the first stage.
Reims had a decent start in the Ligue 1, but dropped many points during springtime and is now lying on the 11th place. David Guion's team have nine wins and 15 draws after 35 rounds, which gave them 42 points. They are four points behind the 10th place, which is unlikely to be narrowed.
In last five games hosts had one defeat and four draws. In the most recent match Reims split the points with Nimes (2:2).
Doumbia, Berisha and Konan won't be able to play today.
Monaco
FranceFor the first time since 2016/17 season eight-time French champion got into the fight for Ligue 1 title.
Team failed to break to the European competitions last season, but had a successful French Cup, where they beat Grenoble, Metz, Nice and Lyon to advance to the semi-finals.
After 35 rounds of Ligue 1 season Red-Whites have 22 wins and five draws. Monaco is currently on the third spot, eight points away from the leader. In their last game Red-Whites lost to Lyon (2:3).
Pellegri, Jovetic, Diop and Geubbels are sidelined for this game. Golovin, Diatta and Martins are isolated due to coronavirus.
