AS Monaco have had a good run this season, keeping them consistent in the top four position. However, on Wednesday, Monaco successfully continued their grind in the UEFA Champions League with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa thanks to an early Wilfried Singo's strike. In domestic competition, they have not been as consistent; they have gotten only one victory out of their last five Ligue 1 matches, (LDLLW).
Adolfo Hütter's team has been brilliant at Stade Louis II by winning three out of their last five home matches. New signing Mika Biereth gave a good show in the loss to Montpellier 2-1, strengthening Monaco's attacking hand, but their patterns of late depict low cards or under 4.5 cards in 10 consecutive matches and highly defensive structures but Monaco cannot grab possession for consecutive matches.
Stade Rennes
Stade Rennes are on a free-fall, after suffering four consecutive defeats in Ligue 1. Having dominated possession against Brest in their last game, with a 2-1 loss, Bruno Génésio's team failed to capitalize on those chances, yet another problem during this season. The only beacon of hope remains in the well-taken goal of Ludovic Blas, and it is the consistent inability to present a reliable goalscoring threat which still haunts them.
Rennes have an away record that is simply appalling, with just one win in their last five matches (LLWLL). Their defense has been exposed to five goals in their last four games. The arrival of Brice Samba in goal hasn't been the solution so far, as the keeper's mistake led to defeat at the hands of Brest. Rennes, however, have had games go over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5, which makes them a dangerous opponent to face.
Head to Head
In the last 10 matches, Monaco are on top with 7 wins to Rennes' 2, with 1 ending in a draw. Monaco won the last three, including a 3-1 home win in the last season. Both teams often find the net in these games (8 of the last 10) while corner counts are low (under 10.5 corners in 5 of the last 6).
