Rennes vs Monaco prediction: Rennais to edge past the Monegasques
Key stats
- Rennes are unbeaten in three successive top-flight encounters (W2, D1).
- Les Rennais have scored the third-fewest goals in the top half of the table (19).
- Monaco have conceded the most number of goals in the top half of the table (21).
- The Monegasques have lost two of their last three outings (W1).
Correct score prediction: Rennes 2-1 Monaco
Following their third consecutive undefeated outing, Rennes have gradually ascended up the top division table, and now stand the chance to win three on the trot for the first time this season. The hosts can enter the top six with a victory, provided other results go their way as well.
In contrast, Sebastien Pocognoli’s side have experienced back-to-back winless games in Ligue 1, most recently falling 4-1 to Lens before the international break. That defeat marked their seventh winless fixture across their last 10 competitive games.
Rennes’s home advantage should prove vital in this clash despite Monaco’s superior individual quality. Roazhon Park can expect all three points in their coffers.
