Tip and bets
We are not expecting many goals in this match. Both opponents are in poor form. Reims are dangerously close to the relegation zone and has a chance to slide into the relegation places. The Red-Whites have no reason to go all the way ahead in the match against such a strong opponent. Monaco will be exhausted after a difficult Europa League fixture, which ended badly for the Monegasques.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
Despite all of their problems, visitors should be able to take the victory here. Monaco is a better team in the current season, Monegasques are stronger than Reims. We believe that Monaco will take the third consecutive victory before the international break.
Our second bet is on Monaco to win
