Rennes vs Monaco prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-21 18:00.

[p]It has been a strange season for Rennes, whose two league defeats are the second lowest in Ligue 1, but they remain outside the European places, something which can largely be attributed to a league-high six draws this campaign. Habib Beye’s men can perhaps say they’ve turned a corner after beating Strasbourg (4-1) and Paris FC (1-0) before the break, leaving them on the cusp of stringing together three successive league wins for the first time since February 2024. One success in four home league outings (D2, L1) suggests doing so is far from a foregone conclusion, and five defeats from their last eight Saturday-held Ligue 1 home games (W2, D1) reinforce the need for caution.[/p]
[p]Monaco’s campaign has been equally inconsistent, as a 4-1 defeat to Lens before the break means they have won just three of their last ten outings across all competitions (D4, L3). Back-to-back top-flight defeats have harmed their early title push and also seen them drop out of the UEFA Champions League spots, but they can maybe take heart from the fact they haven’t lost three league games in a row across either of the last two seasons. Defending has been the Achilles’ Heel for Sébastien Pocognoli’s men, who have conceded in each of their last nine away Ligue 1 games and could now equal their longest such run since their return to the top-flight in 2013/14.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Rennes’ Ludovic Blas may be dreading this fixture, given he is winless in his last 12 league H2Hs (D4, L8), although he did score three goals therein, one of which came in last season’s corresponding fixture. Ahead of this round, no player in Ligue 1 has won more tackles than Monaco’s Jordan Teze (22).[/p]
[p]Rennes don’t appear to have any fresh injury concerns. Monaco’s Folarin Balogun is suspended here, while Christian Mawissa is struggling with injury.[/p]
