Rennes hosts Monaco in round 36 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 1st at Roazhon Park (Rennes)
Rennes can finish the championship without anxiety. Certainly, the team will not win back 19 points to the qualifying place of the Champions League in four rounds to the finish. The relegation from the league does not threaten it either; the 14-point margin from the play-out zone guarantees it to the team. In spite of these fixtures, Rennes claimed a place in the European league by winning the French Cup, where it outplayed eminent PSG in penalty kicks. The championship is almost over for the team, and it finishes it with a trophy.

Monaco, on the contrary, is in a much worse situation. The trophies are just a dream now. It is necessary to avoid transitional matches or even direct relegation from the league. Now the team is 16th in the standings, and there are only 3-points margin form the butting matches and 4 – from direct relegation. There was a time when Monaco even rounded out the standing and was the most likely candidate for relegation. The management changed coaches and even hired Thierry Henry, but it did not help. But all the same, the club managed to man up and made an unbeaten streak of 7 matches that lasted from February to mid-March. The team gained 4 wins, managed to rectify the situation and left the relegation zone. However, it calmed down too early- only 2 points in the last four rounds, and the fans began to worry again.
The situation is more than trivial. One team doesn’t need anything. Rennes claimed a solid trophy and finishes the championship almost half-heartedly; in the last 6 rounds, the team tied 3 draws and lost 3 matches; the last game was lost to Dijon, which is penultimate in the standings. The second team needs points very much; a place in the league for a future championship is at stake. It would be logical to assume that the princely club will gain the 3 points it needs. Moreover, Monaco is playing quite successfully against Rennes. In the current disastrous season, the Monegasques lost to Rennes at home in the championship, but then took revenge on penalties in the League cup. Before that, Monaco won Rennes 5 times in 9 matches; four games ended with a draw. Due to the carelessness of the Monegasques in this season, we should insure their probable victory with X.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to with +0.5 handicap
