Fireworks are all but guaranteed as AS Monaco hosts Rennes in Ligue 1
One of Ligue 1’s most entertaining struggles will make its return on Sunday when third-place Monaco plays host to Rennes in search of a second league double over this opponent in the past three seasons. Both teams have scored in 13 of the past 14 encounters between these teams, who have managed to lay on competitive clashes one after another in their recent history. Julien Stephan’s side travels to the Stade Louis II with a singular focus after being knocked out of the Coupe de France in midweek, and their prospects are looking up against a Monaco team that hasn’t won at home since December 3.

The fans on the French Riviera must be wondering what they must do to see their team win on native soil, especially when Adi Hutter’s side remain so competent on the road this term.
Les Monegasques drew 1-1 the last time they hosted Rennes in 2022, but they had managed to secure seven straight home wins in this particular matchup prior to that (including shootouts).
Rennes was scorned in midweek and saw any faint chance of silverware this season expire after bowing out of cup contention in frustrating fashion.
Kylian Mbappe sent Les Rouge et Noirs packing from the Coupe de France on Wednesday after his deflected finish was all that separated the semi-finalists:
Vanderson and Youssouf Fofana scored to secure a 2-1 win over Rennes while hosting this fixture four months ago, though the former was later shown red for his troubles.
Brazilian Vanderson scored in the 5-2 win away to Metz last time out and will be seeking more plunder this time around, as will United States star Folarin Balogun after he netted twice in that test.
Regional restrictions may apply.
