Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Monaco
Reims and Monaco face each other at Stade Auguste-Delaune in an all-Rouges et Blancs clash on Matchday 8. Reims aim to escape the danger zone, but they will have a mountain to climb in Sunday’s clash against Monaco, who defeated Lyon in last weekend’s Ligue 1 derby. Forward Alexis Flips is banned for the match, while defender Thomas Foket and midfielder Azor Matusiwa have yet to recover from their respective injuries.
Philippe Clement’s troops, on the other hand, aim to rejoin the title race, and seeing that Reims failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Toulouse, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s showdown. Both Kevin Volland and Myron Boadu remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Wille Geubbels is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Highlighted Team (Monaco):

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.
