AS Monaco vs Stade Reims Prediction: Reims can snatch another win

Two high flying teams face each other in a tight contest. AS Monaco and Stade Reims will play in the fixture 27 of the French Ligue 1. AS Monaco are fighting to retain their 3rd spot, with Lens locked in on the same point with them. While Stade Reims are hoping to move up the table and also survive tight competition from the Lorient who are on the same point as them. Clearly, both teams need a positive result in this match. Who will come out on top?

AS Monaco seemed to have taken their foot off the gas in recent matches. First they crashed out of the UEFA Europa League after failing to beat Bayer Leverkusen last month and then they lost 3-0 against Nice at home. Their last match ended in a 2-2 draw against Troyes. There is growing concern that this team is headed for a decline and this match will either prove or disprove those worries.

Monaco are currently in 3rd place, with 51 points from 26 matches. They have 15 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats, with a goal ratio of 55:36.

Team Streaks:- No wins (3), Without clean sheet (6), More than 2.5 goals (6/6), Both teams scoring (5/6), Less than 4.5 cards (9/10), Less than 10.5 corners (9/10).

Stade Reims will come into this match with the confidence of getting all 3 points, considering the current form of their opposition. Stade Reims have a good record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last 5 matches. They won their last game 1-0 against Ajaccio at home, courtesy of Jens Cajuste’s attempt in the 95th minute of the match. Reims dominated the match, taking 64% possession, 3 shots on target and 2 corner kicks. Reims are in 8th spot, with 40 points from 26 matches. They have 9 wins, 13 draws and 4 losses.

Team Streaks: - No Losses (4), No goals Conceded (4), Less than 4.5 cards (9/10), Less than 10.5 corners (6/6).

Both teams have faced each other about 19 times before now. AS Monaco have 6 wins, while Stade Reims have 5 wins and 8 matches ended in a draw. AS Monaco have opened scoring in 5/7 meetings against Reims.

Tension is building in the home camp, and it is starting to affect the results. It will be catastrophic if Monaco crash out of the top four and I believe that will be the only aim before the end of the season. So, AS Monaco needs a massive response here. Reims are in top form, and they are aware that AS Monaco are not at their best right now, I see them coming out for all 3 points here.
