Monaco vs. Reims: Match Prediction
In the Ligue 1 title race, PSG has pulled ahead both in points and gameplay. However, the battle for Champions League spots is ongoing, with Monaco among the contenders. After the last round, Monaco fell behind Lille and now cannot afford to drop points against struggling teams, especially at home. Adi Hütter's side has been strong at home, winning 5 of their last 6 matches, with the only loss coming against leaders PSG.
Reims, on the other hand, is struggling and edging closer to the relegation zone. Their last away win was back in early November last year against the bottom team, Le Havre. The club's winless streak in the league has stretched to 12 matches, with losses in the last four.
Given the current form, Reims seems an easy target for Monaco, so my prediction is: Monaco to win
