Reims
Monaco has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, yet they still occupy 5th place in the league, just three points away from the top three spots that secure Champions League qualification. This means they remain highly motivated to improve their position.
Their main challenge lies in defense, having conceded 31 goals—more than any other team in the top six. However, their home form provides a strong foundation for optimism. Monaco has been the third-best home team in the league, collecting 26 points—only three fewer than PSG.
At home, they showcase some of the best attacking football, ranking as the second-highest-scoring team with 28 goals. Their offensive contributions are well distributed, with Bireth netting 7 goals, Ben Seghir adding 6 goals and 3 assists, and Embolo chipping in with 4 goals and 4 assists.
Over their last five home matches, Monaco has secured four wins, with their only defeat coming against PSG in a 2-4 loss.
Today, they face a Reims side that has endured a grueling schedule, playing three matches in just seven days. Fatigue is likely to be a factor, and squad rotation could come into play.
Additionally, Reims is struggling for form, having gone six games without a win. Their attacking struggles are particularly concerning, as they have failed to score in their last three matches.
What we say
Monaco to Win
We expect the home side to come out strong against a fatigued opponent that has been struggling in league matches. Given Monaco’s high motivation, their impressive home record the third best in the league and their potent attacking trio, they have a clear edge. Additionally, their defensive performances at home have been more solid compared to their overall record.
Despite failing to win in their last two league games, this match presents a great opportunity for a turnaround. With superior firepower and a favorable home advantage, we anticipate a Monaco victory.
