Monaco - Reims betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Reims are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Monaco should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Reims seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.50, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Instead of easing to victory in their last Ligue 1 match played at Troyes, Monaco had to dig deep to get out of the gutter. They went behind in the first half and can even consider themselves lucky that they managed to salvage a point in this 2:2 match.

The previous round of the Ligue 1 saw Reims win 1:0 in a favourable home matchup against Ajaccio. That said, the pre-match betting odds for them to win were 7.50, so the fact that the game was a relatively close call is somewhat surprising.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Reims have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

Even though they are occupying the Champions League spot, Monaco need 12 points to reach the very top of the ladder. This upcoming match offers a decent shot at closing the difference behind the league leaders.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Monaco are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.79 odds offered at 888Sport.
