Monaco are heading into this match in decent shape, having won two of their last five games and drawn the other two. Their only recent loss was a high-scoring 5-4 thriller, which shows they are capable of scoring goals but can also be vulnerable at the back. Rennes, on the other hand, are really struggling right now. They have lost four of their last five matches, and in those defeats they have conceded quite a few goals, including a 4-2 and a 3-1 loss. It is a worrying run of form for the away side.

When these two teams have met recently, the games have been full of goals. In their last three meetings, the scores have been 4-0, 4-1, and 3-2, all in favor of Monaco. Rennes have not beaten Monaco in their last five attempts. Given Monaco's strong recent record against Rennes and Rennes's poor form, this looks like a game that Monaco should win comfortably.
