Monaco vs Rennes Predictions

• Four of Monaco’s last five home games have seen both teams score
• Both teams have also netted in six of Rennes’ last nine outings
• Monaco have only failed to score in one of their most recent 14 fixtures

Can Monaco end barren home run?

Monaco may be in third place in Ligue 1, but a recent run of six home fixtures without a victory has hampered their hopes of securing a UEFA Champions League place.

Adi Hütter’s side have kept just one clean sheet during that period, a 0-0 draw against PSG, while both teams have netted in four of their last five outings at Stade Louis II.

They do tend to be good for a goal, scoring in 13 of their last 14 fixtures at all venues, but equally there are clear issues at the back, as 12 of those clashes have seen both teams score.

Rennes need wins

That might be good news for their visitors, who head into the weekend desperate for points in their fight to qualify for some form of European football for next season.

Rennes have struggled on the road this year though, losing their last two games – including a 1-0 reversal against PSG – and not keeping an away clean sheet in six.

Three of those games have seen both teams score, as have ten of their last 15 games at all venues and in all competitions.

I predict that both teams will score in this match, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
