Monaco will play in front of the Stade Louis II crowd on Sunday when they welcome visitors Stade Rennais for a one-on-one Ligue 1 clash, with kickoff slated for 15:05 GMT.
Key Highlights
Monaco are Fighting for an Automatic Champions League Spot in the Run-In
Monaco are unbeaten in their last five matches, showing good form on their way to third on the table with 49 points, one behind second-placed Brest and away from Ligue 1’s other automatic Champions League slot.
In the run of five matches, Monaco has won three times and drawn twice. With seven rounds of fixtures remaining in Ligue 1, Monaco has a good chance of fighting for the Champions League slot.
They will look to make it back-to-back wins in Ligue 1 on Sunday when they welcome Stade Rennais to the Stade Louis II.
Stade Rennais Look to Force a Late Challenge for European Places in Ligue 1
Stade Rennais have shown significant inconsistency in the last few matches. They have won just once from their last five outings, drawing twice and losing twice in the process.
Last time out, a trip to struggling Strasbourg ended in a comprehensive 2-0 loss, denting their chance of making a late charge at European places in Ligue 1.
Their inability to drive consistent results has seen them drop down the table. They will look to regain composure and compactness ahead of their trip to Monaco on Sunday.
A win will help them climb the table and push for one of the European places available in Ligue 1 in the run-in.
