Monaco set to frustrate Rennes
AS Monaco vs Stade Rennais - 22/12/2021
2904
On Wednesday night, Monaco host Rennes at the Stade Louis ll in Ligue One, in a game that could play a pivotal role in the race to secure European football for next season.
Monaco will feel that they are still very much in the race to secure continental action next season, as Niko Kovac’s team are just two points adrift of the European qualification spots in Ligue One.
A highly inconsistent recent run of form in the French top-flight has hindered their attempts to break into the league’s top five. However, a 2-0 defeat at league leaders PSG ended a five-match unbeaten run for the team from the principality.
That run hinted that the home team are returning to some form of consistency.
Monaco have been difficult to beat at the Stade Louis ll of late, as they are unbeaten on home soil in six matches in Ligue One, having recorded four wins and two draws. They have also been prolific on home soil of late, scoring at least two goals in five of their previous six home games in the French top-flight.
Rennes are currently third-place in the table, a position that would mean they would play in the Champions League qualifying round next season.
However, they are also just a point adrift of second-place Marseille, who are the current incumbents of the final automatic Champions League spot.
The Red and Blacks have endured a slight slump in form of late in Ligue One, losing in two of their last three matches in the French top-flight. However, both of those recent defeats have been on home soil.
Rennes have a strong recent away record in Ligue One, as they are unbeaten in five matches in their travels in Ligue One.
Forebet predicts that this game will produce a close encounter, which will produce a low-scoring draw, hampering both teams’ European challenges.
