Reims vs. Monaco: French Cup match betting tip
One of the most interesting confrontations in the 1/16 of the French Cup will take place on January 13. Reims will host Monaco. Will the hosts be able to refute the underdog status that bookmakers make them? The answer is in our betting tip. What is the best choice for a bet?
Command Analysis
Reims
FranceCurrent form
Reims has suffered a severe setback in the national championship. Over the last ten rounds, the red and whites have won only one victory, and in the first two games of 2025, they conceded as many as seven goals, losing to Saint-Etienne with a score of 1:3, and then to Nice (2:4). The results are not encouraging and do not inspire hope that they will be able to reach the next round of the tournament.
In the last round of the French Cup, the hosts of the upcoming match played against Mutizig. Everyone expected a crushing victory, but Luka Elsner protégés won the match by only two goals, and even managed to concede one (3:1). With such a game, there will be absolutely nothing to do against Monaco.
Disqualifications and injuries
Khadra, Darami, Ab.Kone, Fofana and Moscardo are all injured and will not be able to take part in the game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Reims have lost their last two matches
- The team cannot win five matches in a row at home
Tentative line-up: Diouf - Buta, Okumu, De Smet, Akyeme - Atangana, Theuma, Manetzi - Ito, Diakite, Nakamura.
Monaco
FranceCurrent form
Monaco also has nothing to brag about in 2025. After losing to PSG in the French Super Cup (0:1), everyone expected a confident victory over Nantes from the Monegasques in the last round, but in that match they only managed to draw (2:2), with Adi Hütter men losing with a score of 0:2. Now the gap even from the second line of the national championship is five points, and a new goal has emerged - to retain third place, since Nice, Lille and Lyon are only one, two and three points behind, respectively.
The French Cup is the hope to win at least some trophy this season. There is no point in counting on fighting for gold medals in the League, because the gap from the leading PSG is catastrophic - 12 points. In the last round of the country cup, the team had no problems in the confrontation with Saint-Juan, winning the match with a score of 4:1. Repeating such a success with the form the club is in at the moment is unlikely.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mavisa, Diata and Ballogu will be out due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monaco have been unable to win for two matches in a row
- The visitors have conceded in their last four games.
Probable line-up: Majecki - Tese, Salisu, Kehrer, Caio Henrique - Kamara, Zakaria - Wanderson, Ben Seghir, Ouattara - Embolo.

1.71Bet Reims to score in the first half
In the last three matches, Reims scored in the first 45 minutes
2.75Tip and bets
In 2025, Reims shows unsatisfactory results. It is also striking that the red and whites have not been able to win against their upcoming opponent for six games in a row at home.
Monaco can't fall any lower. The Monegasques have injured players, but there are those like Golovin who seem ready to take the field. We believe that the coaching staff will release the main squad for the upcoming match, which will be able to win the match in regular time.
Our prediction is a Monaco victory with odds of 1.95
Bet on total
Monaco rarely keeps a clean sheet away from home. In the last ten games, they have managed to do so only once. We are inclined to think that the Monegasques will concede in this match as well, but they themselves are also unlikely to keep a clean sheet.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.65
Bet on corners
From our description it is clear that in the match the teams will commit many mistakes in their penalty area. This means that there is a high probability that there will be many corner flag passes.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.80
