Rennes host AS Monaco at Roazhon Park, Rennes on Saturday, Dec 12 at 5:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Ligue 1, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Rennes come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). AS Monaco travel in good form (3W 2D 0L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Rennes face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. AS Monaco have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Rennes won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Rennes a slight edge, but AS Monaco are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
