Our prediction for this Coupe de France match:
Red Star
Match Time & Date:
19/12/2021
13:45
Prediction: 1-2
Monaco
A spot in the Coupe de France last 32 will be at stake when Red Star and Monaco face each other at Stade Bauer on Sunday. Red Star booked their place in the last 64 by beating GFC Ajaccio, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Monaco. Keep in mind, though, that the National League side defeated Sedan 3-1 in their last league match. Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, are eager to make amends for a heart-breaking 2-0 loss to star-studded PSG.
Monaco have big ambitions for the 2021/2022 French Cup campaign, and we predict that Wissam Ben Yedder and Co. are going to prove their worth. The good news for the visitors is that experienced German attacker Kevin Volland is back from the Ligue 1 ban. The likes of Diatta, Badiashile, and Fabregas have been struggling with injuries of late.

Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people. The Principality club boasts a turbulent history, which saw Monaco reach the highest heights of both domestic and international scene, but also get relegated to the amateur leagues at the very beginnings and to Ligue 2 in 2010-11 season.
The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
AS Monaco have had notable European results in the modern football era having been runners-up in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. One of the most successful clubs in France AS Monaco have so far won seven league titles and five Coupe de France trophies.
