AS Monaco locks horns with the high-flying Rennes on Friday

Rennes entertain Monaco at Roazhon Park in a crucial game to secure a top-four spot in Ligue 1 on Friday.

The hosts have been undefeated in league fixtures since their 1-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain in February and continued their winning ways with an impressive 3-2 win at Reims on Saturday.

They were eliminated from the UEFA Europa Conference League last month and, with only league fixtures to focus on, they'll be hoping to retain their third place in the league standings.

Monaco have made it three wins in a row, starting with an impressive 3-0 win against PSG last month. They secured a 2-1 win against Troyes last time around and will be looking to record their first win in their trip to northwest France since 2017.
