With their 11 point advantage in the league table, Rennes fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Monaco.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Monaco have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Rennes form and stats

7-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Rennes so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Rennes will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Ligue 1 game against Dijon. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Nice.

This is expected to be a close game, with Rennes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rennes as a small favourite), we find six games. Rennes has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

The Rennes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 21 in 16 matches. Rennes are not conceding a lot of goals here at Roazhon Park, averaging less than one per game. The total is 14 from 16 matches.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Monaco in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Monaco, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Saint-Étienne in just four days.
