Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rennes and Monaco face each other at Roazhon Park in an eagerly-awaited Ligue 1 game. Les Rouges et Noirs aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Olympique Marseille and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Athur Theate limped off with injury in the last league match, with Warmed Omari likely to step up, whereas both Christopher Wooh and Nemanja Matic are banned for the match.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, recorded a routine 2-0 win over Montpellier at the weekend, with the team quickly bouncing back from a 5-2 loss to PSG. Monaco aim to stay in the title race and given their attacking potential, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Myron Boadu and Eliesse Ben Seghir are sidelined with injuries, while Wissam Ben Yedder is pushing for a start, speaking of the away team.
