Monaco - Reims predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Monaco winning is by far the most likely outcome.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Monaco and the 7.97 odds given to Reims to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Lille from the previous Ligue 1 fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

With Ligue 1 betting odds decidedly against them and a home-field disadvantage, the away team’s chances of winning the previous round were incredibly slim. They predictably lost 1:0, though the narrow goal difference adds some silver lining to that outing.

Monaco have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Ligue 1 matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Ligue 1 engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Reims shouldn’t pose much of a problem for the hosts, though they can’t afford to relax yet. There are more rounds of the season to go, so both improving and losing their number 5th slot in the standings is still on the table.

Reims are not too far from the relegation zone as we enter round 24, and they’ll have to be careful not to dip below the line. There’s definitely cause for concern among their supporters, though, considering how unfavourable this matchup in Stade Louis II is.

Even though we’ve seen Monaco and Reims clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
