Monaco vs Reims Prediction
Adi Hutter’s Monaco are a very impressive side when they click, as shown by a recent 7-1 demolition of Nantes, but they have been very frustrating for the last couple of months with elimination from both the Coupe de France and the UEFA Champions League as well as a slide in Ligue 1. Stade de Reims recently took the decision to sack Luka Elsner after a bright start to the campaign undermined by a horrible few months to leave them in the relegation battle. He has been replaced by Samba Diawara and they do come into this one on the back of reaching the semi-finals of the cup after a penalty shootout victory over Angers. However, Monaco are firm favourites for this one, especially in the principality.
