Monaco vs. Reims: Match Prediction
The Ligue 1 title race is unsurprising, with PSG far ahead in points and performance. However, the battle for Champions League spots is intense, with Monaco in the mix. After the last round, Monaco fell behind Lille and cannot afford to drop points against lower-ranked teams, especially at home. Adi Hütter's side is confident at home, winning 5 of their last 6 matches, losing only to PSG.
Reims, on the other hand, is struggling and nearing the relegation zone. Their last away win was in early November last year against bottom-placed Le Havre. Reims' winless streak in the league has extended to 12 matches, with defeats in their last four.
In their current form, Reims appears to be an easy target for Monaco, hence my prediction: Monaco to win
