Rennes – AS Monaco, Picks and Tips
Rennes is one of the fittest teams in France. They are in third place with seven games to go, and even have the chance to draw level on points with Olympique Marseille if they win on Friday night against AS Monaco. Last time out, Rennes won away to Reims. It was only 3-2, we say only because in the 58th minute the guests were leading 3-0, following Bourigeaud's "double" and Terrier's goal. The Bretons conceded two late goals. The last match Rennes played at home was a 6-1 win over Metz. The Bretons gave a recital, scoring three goals per half. Terrier scored a "double" in the first half, and then Guirassy scored three times during the game. The other scorer in the tennis-scoring victory was Traore. Rennes have seven consecutive home wins. The last time they lost "at home" was mid-December last year, a 1-2 draw with Nice. Rennes average more than two goals scored per game.
There is a difference of only nine points between 2nd and 6th place in France. AS Monaco is in 6th place with 50 points, so outside the European positions. The Monegasques certainly don't want to stay outside Europe at the end of the season, so they need to gain points. AS Monaco has three consecutive wins in the championship. Last time they won at home against Troyes, 2-1. Henrique and Volland scored. Last time out, AS Monaco beat Metz 2-1, scorers Ben Yedder and Boadu. Metz who Rennes recently beat 6-1. Among the three victories was that 3-0 home win over PSG. A game in which Ben Yedder scored a "double", the other goal belonging to Volland. AS Monaco's top scorer is Ben Yedder with 18 goals, along with four assists.
