In three of their last five matches, Rennes has faced three defeats, with two of those losses coming against Strasbourg (1-3) and Reims (1-2). Their upcoming opponent is stronger than both of these teams, so we predict that the home side will suffer another setback, and even playing on their own turf won't be enough to secure at least one point.
Our prediction is a victory for Monaco at odds of 2.45.
Total Bets
Throughout the year, Rennes has scored at least once at home in every match, while Monaco has consistently found the net in away games for almost a year. This trend encourages us to bet on both teams finding the back of the net.
Our prediction - both teams to score at odds of 1.51
Corner Bets
Considering that we anticipate an open and high-scoring game, it makes sense to bet that both teams will generate a significant number of corner kicks.
Our prediction - total corners over 8.5 at odds of 1.68
