Monaco vs. Rennes ⋆ Prediction 20/10/2019

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Monaco are winless in their last three games against Rennes in Ligue 1 (D2 L1), after winning the previous three. Monaco have won their last two home games in Ligue 1 (3-1 v Nice & 4-1 v Brest), after winning only one of the previous eight (D3 L4). Monaco have lost only once in their last nine home games against Rennes in Ligue 1 (W6 D2) – it was the most recent one in October 2018 (1-2).

Monaco’s 4-1 home victory versus Brest in their last Ligue 1 (L1) home outing bore some significance, with the result making it four straight league games at Stade Louis II featuring over 3.5 goals. Overall, Monaco’s matches this L1 campaign have witnessed 3.78 goals per-game on average. Monaco have won two of their last three Ligue 1 games (L1), as many as in their previous 18 (D8 L8). Here ‘Les Monégasques’ will be looking to build on their outstanding historical top-flight H2H home record against Rennes (W30, D6, L7). However, the fact that Monaco are one of the three L1 sides yet to register a clean sheet at home will surely concern coach Leonardo Jardim.

Visitors Rennes travel to the French Riviera winless in their previous six top-flight matches, while registering just one clean sheet during that run. Moreover, the fact that they scored under 1.5 goals in each of those games (averaging 0.5 goals per game) will not inspire traveling fans. Rennes are winless in their last six games in Ligue 1 (D3 L3), after winning each of the previous five. On a more positive note however, ‘Les Rennais’ possess the joint-best away defence this season, conceding just 0.4 goals on average per away game. Yet this is an unsurprising statistic, considering that the visitors have registered the division’s second-highest rate of clean sheets per away game so far (60%).
