Match preview
Round 37 of the French Ligue 1 will take place on Saturday at Roazhon Park between Stade Rennais and AS Monaco. We anticipate an exciting matchup between the two teams in the competitive race for the Europa League slot, as they are only separated by three points in the rankings.
When Stade Rennais thrashed 10-man Ajaccio 5-0 at the Stade Francois Coty last Sunday, they kept their hopes of playing in Europe alive. Since the final week of April, Les Rennais have won three of their last four games while scoring an astounding 14 goals and recording two shutouts.
Bruno Genesio’s team has been in excellent form lately, moving up to sixth position in the Ligue 1 standings, three points behind Saturday’s opponents for a spot in the Europa League.
Monaco, however, continued their terrible late-season record last Friday when they were defeated 3-1 by Olympique Lyon.
Since mid-April, Philippe Clement’s team has lost three and drawn one of their previous five games, failing to win four of those contests.
Their recent lack of offensive sting, as evidenced by the fact that they have only scored three goals in their last five games, has contributed to this terrible run of outcomes.
