Rennes vs Monaco Predictions

Rennes Backed to Break Monaco’s Resistance at Roazhon Park

Rennes should be backed to beat Monaco at home on Saturday. The visitors have struggled defensively this season, and Rennes boss Habib Beye will fancy his side’s chances of getting at them.

Monaco are two places above Rennes in the table, but both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season. The hosts are eighth with four wins and two losses, while Monaco sit sixth having won six and lost four. This season, 15 (60%) of the 25 games between teams in the top half of Ligue 1 have been home wins.

The visitors are looking vulnerable at the back. Monaco have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 20 Ligue 1 games and have conceded on each of their last nine road trips.

Rennes come into this game in better form than Monaco. The visitors have won their last two Ligue 1 matches, while Monaco have lost their last two. However, Monaco have lost just one of their last nine meetings with Rennes in the league.

Rennes are in goalscoring form, having scored in nine of their last ten league games. They have averaged 1.80 goals a game in their five Ligue 1 matches against other top-half teams this season.

A 2-0 victory for Rennes is the most likely correct-score outcome.
