📊 Form Guide

Monaco
WLDDLW ⚖
Monaco will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-0 Champions League victory versus Aston Villa.
In that game, Monaco managed 39% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Monaco was Wilfried Singo (8'). For their opponents, Aston Villa got 10 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It’s been seldom in recent games where Monaco have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Monaco have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 7 goals along the way.
Going into this one, Monaco are unbeaten in the league by Rennes in their last 3 games.
Rennes
WWLLLL 📉
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Brest in Ligue 1 competition, Rennes and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The numbers tell their own story, and Rennes have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals overall. At the back, Rennes just haven’t been too solid at all. That kind of trend isn’t assured to follow through here, however.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Rennes:
- have not beaten Monaco in games played away from home for the previous 5 league games. Not the best of away records.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 9 league games. It's not a good run at all.
↔️ Head to head
Looking at their past head to head clashes dating back to 15/04/2022 shows us that Monaco have won 4 of these and Rennes 1, with the number of draws being 1.
A combined total of 16 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 9 from Les Rouge et Blanc and 7 for Rennes. That’s an average goals per game of 2.67.
The last league game featuring these clubs was Ligue 1 match day 7 on 05/10/2024 and the score finished Rennes 1-2 Monaco.
That day, Rennes had 58% possession and 14 shots on goal with 3 on target. Their only player to score was Ludovic Blas (11').
At the other end, Monaco had 5 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Thilo Kehrer (6') and Folarin Balogun (22') scored.
The referee was Thomas Leonard.
📰 Team News: Monaco
George Ilenikhena (Adductor injury) and Folarin Balogun (Shoulder injury) will be missing for Monaco gaffer Adi Hütter.
In our view, Les Rouge et Blanc could use a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, beginning the first half with Radoslaw Majecki, Vanderson, Wilfried Singo, Thilo Kehrer, Caio Henrique, Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria, Maghnes Akliouche, Takumi Minamino, Eliesse Ben Seghir and Mika Biereth.
📰 Team News: Rennes
Rennes manager Jorge Sampaoli has some current player fitness concerns. Doğan Alemdar (Cruciate ligament tear) and Alidu Seidu (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.
We reckon that Rennes seem most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 system with a starting lineup of Brice Samba, Mikayil Faye, Leo Oestigard, Christopher Wooh, Hans Hateboer, Adrien Truffert, Jordan James, Azor Matusiwa, Ludovic Blas, Amine Gouiri and A. Kalimuendo-Muinga.
🔮 Prediction
Our thinking is that Monaco will more than likely fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they meet Rennes, who might well find it a difficult task to find the back of the net.
Our selection here is for a fairly comfortable 2-0 victory for Monaco at full-time.
