Rennes vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
This is a meeting of rivals who are aiming to compete for a Champions League spot this season. Both clubs are currently outside the top four, but they are not far behind and could potentially break into it by winter. However, victories are needed for that. The clubs are in different current forms. Nevertheless, I give slight preference to the visitors, who are eager to end their newly started losing streak in the league.
Monaco has performed well against this opponent. In the last 9 head-to-head Ligue 1 meetings, Monaco has secured 7 wins, 1 draw, and only 1 loss. Matches between these clubs are rarely dull and low-scoring. At least 3 goals have been scored in 10 of the last 13 league encounters. Therefore, I believe a bet on the visitors not losing and at least 2 goals being scored is a good choice.
My prediction – "Double chance: Monaco win or draw and Total over 1.5 goals"
