Reims vs Monaco Prediction and Betting Tips | December 14th 2024

Reims will entertain Monaco at Stade Auguste-Delaune II in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The hosts have five wins and five losses in the league thus far and are in ninth place in the league table with 19 points. Les Monégasques have 29 points to their name, the same as second-placed Marseille.

Les Rouges et Blancs have seen a drop in form, winning just one of their last seven league games. They failed to score for the second match on the trot last week, as they were held to a goalless draw by Strasbourg.

The visitors bounced back with a win last week, as second-half goals from Wilfried Singo and Breel Embolo helped them to a 2-0 home win over Toulouse. They failed to build on that form and suffered a 3-0 away loss to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

Reims vs Monaco Prediction

Les Rouges et Blancs have failed to score in three of their last five league games and will look to improve upon that record here. Interestingly, they have failed to score in five of their last seven home games in this fixture, which is a cause for concern.

Joseph Okumu, Abdoul Koné, Mohamed Daramy, Reda Khadra, and Yaya Fofana will be unavailable here because of injuries. Teddy Teuma is a doubt.

Les Monégasques have seen conclusive results in their last 10 games across all competitions, with five wins and five defeats. They have won four of their six away games in Ligue 1 this season and have scored at least once in all away games in the competition in 2024.

Edan Diop, Soungoutou Magassa, and Denis Zakaria are unavailable due to injuries while Vanderson will serve a suspension. Folarin Balogun is set to undergo surgery while Mamadou Coulibaly and Krépin Diatta are doubts.

Both teams have a few absentees for this match. Monaco will play their third match in eight games, so fatigue will likely be a factor. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.

Prediction: Reims 1-1 Monaco
