DomainJava.com – Reims vs Monaco prediction in the Coupe de France match, For the first time in more than 45 years, Monaco will travel to the Stade Auguste-Delaune for a Coupe de France match against Reims with a place in the round of 16 at stake on Tuesday.
In their opening match of the competition, the Champagne club beat Still-Mutzig 3-1, while Les Monegasques beat L’Union Saint-Jean 4-1.
A strong final 30 minutes at the Parc des Sports last month allowed Stade de Reims to progress to the next round of the tournament for the fourth time in a row.
With a win on Tuesday, Les Rouges et Blancs can claim a place in the last 16 for the third time in the previous four Coupe de France events.
It’s been a tough start to 2025 for them, losing just two Ligue 1 games this year, conceding seven goals during that span.
That’s a big change from what Luka Elsner’s side showed at the end of 2024, conceding just once in their final three competitive games of the year.
They will enter this match on a five-game winless streak at the Stade Auguste Delaune, having failed to score in the previous two games played at Reims.
Stade de Reims won their only home game in the French Cup against the Principality club, with a 2–0 win in 1977, winning that last-16 tie 6–2 on aggregate.
Les Monegasques had no trouble with their amateur opponents in December, registering 12 targeted attempts in their opening game of the tournament.
The match was one of the few bright spots for the club recently, with the win being the only one in their previous six games in all competitions.
Monaco have not been knocked out at this stage of the French Cup since Metz claimed a 3-1 win over them in 2019.
Adi Hutter’s men have lost just one of their previous four competitive games as visitors, and that came in the Trophee des Champions final in Qatar against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0).
They have not lost an away game in the French Cup in normal time since the 2017 semi-final, when PSG claimed a 5-0 win over them at the Parc des Princes.
The Principality club are unbeaten in their last six visits to the Stade Auguste-Delaune against Reims, winning their previous French Cup tie against them in 2020 (2-1).
A cruciate ligament injury will keep Reda Khadra out of the Reims line-up for several more months, while Abdoul Kone and Amadou Kone are doubts due to hamstring injuries.
This transfer window has been very busy for them as they sold Emmanuel Agbadou to Wolves, while Thibault De Smet joined Ligue 2 side Paris FC, and they have reportedly made a bid for Mamadou Diawara from Lyon.
Gabriel Moscardo, who was on international duty with Brazil’s youth team over the weekend, scored the opener against Still-Mutzig, while the other goals were scored by Mamadou Diakhon and Nhoa Sangui.
In the Principality, former Reims forward Folarin Balogun is out with a shoulder injury while playing for Monaco, Krepin Diatta is doubtful with a muscle injury, Christian Mawissa has hamstring soreness, Aleksandr Golovin may not be available due to an ankle problem, and Radoslaw Majecki is close to recovering from an adductor problem.
A groin problem could rule George Ilenikhena out on Tuesday, Takumi Minamino missed their weekend game through illness, while the club officially signed Mike Biereth from Sturm Graz earlier in the week.
Eliesse Ben Seghir scored the opener against L’Union Saint-Jean, with Ilenikhena, Jordan Teze and Vanderson also scoring.
