Monaco take on the visitors Reims in the round 24 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, February 28th at Stade Louis II (Monaco).
After a disappointing 2022–23 season in which they missed out on European football entirely, Monaco appointed Adi Hütter as head coach. The Austrian repaid the club’s trust by guiding them to a runner-up finish in Ligue 1. However, repeating that feat this season seems almost impossible. Their return to the Champions League was underwhelming—not a disaster, as they reached the knockout stage, but they were eliminated at the first hurdle by Benfica. After a 0-1 home loss, they briefly led in Lisbon before ultimately drawing 3-3 and crashing out. In the Coupe de France, Golovin and company also suffered an early exit, losing to Reims. Meanwhile, their Ligue 1 form remains erratic, with losses becoming more frequent—most recently, they fell 1-2 to Lille, further complicating their hopes for a strong finish. With just one win in their last five league matches, Monaco needs to stabilize their form to secure a European spot next season.

Reims continues to disappoint. Les Rouge et Blanc are historically one of France’s most storied clubs, but their glory days remain a distant memory. In that context, finishing 9th last season was a respectable achievement. However, it is already clear that repeating or improving on that result will be difficult. Their Coupe de France run has provided some solace—they eliminated Monaco on penalties and repeated the trick against Angers, with their goalkeeper emerging as the hero once again. But in Ligue 1, their struggles continue. They have lost more games than they have won and remain too close to the relegation battle. Since October, they have managed only a handful of wins in regulation time, and 2025 has been marked by consistent defeats—including a loss to an out-of-sorts Rennes. With just one league win in 2025, Reims is in desperate need of a turnaround to avoid slipping further down the table.
The teams have already faced each other twice this winter, and both matches ended in draws after regulation time. Monaco is the clear favorite on paper, but both teams have struggled this season. Expect a low-scoring affair, with under 3.0 goals in the match.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
