Rennes take on the visitors Monaco in the round 32 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, April 15th at Roazhon Park (Rennes).
The club was flighting high last two seasons, finishing third in the league two years ago and playing in Champions League last season. Now, already under Bruno Genesio, there is a struggle to win back positions. It helps in this regard that the team was eliminated from all other tournaments, including the Conference League - where they were knocked out by Leicester in March in the 1/8 finals. But in the national championship since the end of February, it turned out to be a powerful stretch: 6 wins with 1 draw, with the now strong Nice. This breakthrough allowed them to gain a foothold in the Champions League 3rd position - Strasbourg is 4 points behind, Nice is 5 points behind.

Mediocre results during the first half of the season cost Kovac his position and the Croat was replaced by Philippe Clement, who made a name for himself in his native Belgium. He also did not succeed, being eliminated from the Cup and the Europa League. But now in the championship, Golovin and company have finally raised their heads. In March, they sensationally defeated PSG. And in April it turned out to consistently beat Metz and Troyes. So far, even after that, it only managed to move up to 6th place. But there are chances to achieve much more. For example, if we win against Rennes now, then the distance between the teams will be halved, to 3 points. But, of course, the hosts are also determined only to win on Friday.
Rennes could only win 1 match out of the last 6 head-to-heads. In contrast, Monaco has 3 wins in 4 last matches, including 2-1 in December of the last season. Rennes have a lot of players out of the squad - Gomis, Bade, Jelen, Suleman and Doku. In Monaco, Diatta continues his treatment. The bookmakers are considering Rennes as the favorite for the duel. But Monaco will fight to the last, clinging to victory and the hope of climbing into the group of leaders.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored.
