Monaco vs Stade Rennais Prediction and Betting Tips | April 7th 2024

Monaco will host Stade Rennais at the Stade Louis II on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.

The home side have enjoyed a largely positive campaign and are now pushing for their first UEFA Champions League appearance since the 2018-19 campaign. They thrashed last-placed Metz 5-2 in their last match, with four different players getting on the scoresheet including former Arsenal man Folarin Balogun who came off the bench to net a brace.

Monaco sit third in the league table with 49 points from 27 matches and will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.

Stade Rennais, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch of late and are now falling behind in the race for continental football. They were beaten 2-0 by Strasbourg in their last league outing before losing 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals of the Coupe de France on Wednesday.

The visitors sit eighth in the league table with 39 points picked so far. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track on Sunday.
