Monaco will host Stade Reims at the Stade Louis II on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and are now pushing for a return to the UEFA Champions League. They picked up a 2-1 win over Toulouse last time out in Ligue 1, with Wissam Ben Yedder scoring a first-half brace before beating Lens on penalties in the Coupe de France on Sunday.
Monaco sit third in the Ligue 1 standings with 33 points from 17 games. They are seven points above their weekend opponents and will be looking to widen that gap even further this weekend.
Stade Reims have had mixed results this season but remain hopeful of securing continental football at the end of the campaign. They beat 10-man Le Havre 1-0 in their last league outing and then beat Dinan Lehon 3-0 in the domestic cup last weekend, with Mamadou Diakhon scoring a first-half brace before Mohamed Daramy joined the 18-year-old on the scoresheet late in the game.
