Rennes vs Monaco Prediction and Betting Tips | October 5th 2024

Rennes will invite Monaco to the Roazhon Park in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The hosts have two wins in six league games and are in 10th place in the league table. Les Monégasques have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign, winning five of the six games and have 16 points, the same as league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Les Rennais saw their unbeaten streak ended after two games last week as they suffered a 3-1 away loss to PSG. Arnaud Kalimuendo scored a consolation goal from the penalty spot in the 75th minute after they had conceded three goals by the 68th minute.

The visitors registered a 2-1 comeback win over Montpellier last week thanks to goals from Folarin Balogun and Lamine Camara. They played out a 2-2 draw against Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League as late goals from Mohammed Salisu and Denis Zakaria helped them come back from two goals down.
