Rennes vs Monaco Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

In line with what it offered last year, Stade Rennais has so far been disappointing. Much too inconsistent, the Breton club only collected 7 points during the first 6 days of this championship and it is only in 10th position in the ranking. On the tough side, the Rouge et Noir have only won one of their last 5 matches. It was against a fairly weak Montpellier team 3-0. Then, Julien Stéphan's men were held at the very end of the match by RC Lens 1-1 and they were no match at all against PSG last week 3-1.

AS Monaco, on the other hand , shows itself much more to its advantage. She is in fact the only one to follow the pace imposed by PSG at the start of the season and she has already taken 16 points out of the 18 at stake. Adi Hütter's men were only held in check by Lens at the start of September but They quickly resumed their march forward by winning against Auxerre 0-3, Le Havre 3-1 and Montpellier, at the end of added time, last weekend 2-1. At the same time, the club from the Principality started its European journey particularly well by winning against FC Barcelona 2-1 but it had to be content with snatching a draw on Wednesday evening, against Dinamo Zagreb, on a particularly wet ground 2-2.

Stade Rennais still has to deal with replacement goalkeeper Alemdar (21) and star recruit of the off-season Jota who are both still injured. As for the forces present, we find one of the strong men of the moment like defender Seidu who has established himself as the boss of the defense at the start of the season. The playmaker of this team, Ludovic Blas (2 goals, 2 assists) is also in good form even if he has not scored in the last two days. Against PSG, scorer Kalimuendo scored his 3rd goal of the season.

On the Monegasque side, the two young Coulibaly (substitute) and Edan Diop (potential starter, broken hand) will still not be present. Otherwise, it should be all hands on deck for this trip to Roazhon Park. All ASM executives could therefore start this game, starting with midfielders Denis Zakaria (2 goals - 1 assist) and Lamine Camara (2 goals) who scored the winning goal against Montpellier, the young Moroccan winger Eliesse Ben Seghir (2 goals) and striker Balogun (2 goals in the last 2 Ligue 1 matches).
