Stade Rennais will visit the Stade Louis II to face AS Monaco in the second gameweek of the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The hosts head into the weekend after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and will look to return to winning ways here.
Having held on for a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Monaco suffered a 3-2 extra time loss against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. Before hat, they got their Ligue 1 campaign underway with a 2-1 victory away to Strasbourg on Saturday.
Monaco head into the weekend on a run of five straight home wins in Ligue 1 since a 2-1 loss against Stade Reims in February.
Meanwhile, Rennais failed to kick off their new season on a high, as they fell to a 1-0 home loss against Lorient. That followed a fine pre-season run, where they picked up three wins and lost two of their five friendlies.
Rennais are on a three-game winless run away from home in Ligue 1, picking up one draw and two losses.
