LiontipsMonaco vs. Reims. Prediction and Betting Tips for Ligue 1
Command Analysis
Monaco dropped way too many points in recent Ligue 1 matches. Not too long ago, club was on the tail of 2nd-placed Marseille. Monegasques failed to beat Nice (0:3) and Troyes (2:2). Both of these teams are lower than Monaco in the standings.
With 51 points, Philippe Clement's men are still at the 3rd position in Ligue 1. However, Monaco are already tied on points with 4th-placed Lens. The Red-Whites have already conceded 36 goals in the current season, more than any other Top-5 team.
Reims played better than Monaco in recent matches. Team is currently on a five-game unbeaten run, getting three victories and two draws from five latest matches. But in one of these matches Reims failed to beat relegation-threatened Auxerre (0:0).
Reims sit 9th in the Ligue 1 standings. The Red-Whites are much better than Monaco on the defensive end. William Still's men conceded only 26 goals in the current season, just one more than two top teams of the league, Marseille and PSG.

Tip and bets
Despite the results in recent fixtures, hosts have more chances for a victory here. Monaco is simply a better team. Poor results and a defeat in Europa League should give an extra-motivation to Clement's men. Reims have been unsuccessful in recent away matches - three draws and one defeat.
Our prediction - Monaco to win
However, we don't think that Monaco will keep a clean sheet here. Club is far from perfect on the defensive end and conceded more goals than any other Top-5 team. Even Reims conceded less goals than Monaco. The Red-Whites should be able to score tonight. Philippe Clement's men had their most recent clean sheet home game back at the beginning of January.
Our second bet is on both to score
