Stade Reims vs AS Monaco Prediction: Both Teams should score to say the least

Stade Reims and AS Monaco will compete for supremacy as they are both among the top 3 clubs this season. Both clubs have been brilliant in the opening 6 games of the season. Reims are currently 3rd with 13 points, while Monaco are 1st with 14 points. It's still a long way to go in the season and both clubs will be hoping to keep up the momentum for as long as they can.

Stade Reims

Stade Reims have shown their intentions in the opening 7 games of the season. Even though it's still a long way to go and a lot can change, they are still very proud and confident in their ability.

In the 7 matches they have played so far, they won 4 games, lost 2 and drew 1. Their last match against Olympique Lyon ended in a win. Marshall Munetsi and Yunis Abdelhamid scored in both halves to give Reims a 2-0 win in that game.

Reims are aware that Lyon are not in their best form and Monaco are a different ball game entirely.

Reims beat Monaco 1-0 back in March away from home, with Folarin Balogun netting the single goal in the 51st minute. Reims however lost their last meeting on this ground back in 2022.

Streaks

AS Monaco

Monaco are coping with the pressure of being top very well. They have another test once again when they meet up Stade Reims who are only 1 point behind. Monaco have started brilliantly with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in the opening 7 games.

Monaco faced Marseille in their last game and they won 3-2 at full time. Magnes Akliouche equalized after Marseille took an early lead. Folarin Balogun scored the second and Magnes Akliouche struck again for the third goal.

AS Monaco showed resilience in the game against Marseille and they will need to show that in the game against Reims. Monaco beat Reims 3-0 back in 2022 when they visited the Stade de la Meinau. Aleksandr Golovin, Takimu Minamino and Wissam Ben Yedder all scored in that game.

Analysis and Predictions

An outright winner is difficult to predict with both teams playing very good football. Reims are playing at home and will be hoping to apply that to their advantage. And Monaco will be willing to take the risk of getting all 3 points.

I expect an open game with chances from both teams. We should get both teams scoring to say the least.
