Monaco - Rennes predictions

Monaco should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Rennes can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.11 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

With an HT/FT win on record from the previous round, Monaco’s form seems to be in solid shape. They were deemed the favourites in that game from the get-go, but winning an away game 2:5 is always a satisfying result.

Rennes also played on away ground in the previous round, but most top bookies online thought they had a decent shot at winning anyway. The two teams went toe-to-toe for more than half the game, after which the hosts turned it around in their favour. The final result was a decisive 2:0 home win after a series of impressive second-half goals.

With 8 goals in their previous 3 Ligue 1 matches, Monaco’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

Rennes have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

Even though they are occupying the Champions League spot, Monaco need 13 points to reach the very top of the ladder. This upcoming match offers a decent shot at closing the difference behind the league leaders.

The clock is ticking for Rennes’s hopes of reaching the Europa League. They still have some time to earn the 4 points they need, but matchups as hard as Monaco will make their job a lot harder.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Monaco are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
