Stade Rennais and AS Monaco go head-to-head at Roazhon Park in round 37 of the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Separated by just three points in the standings, we anticipate a thrilling showdown between the two sides in a heated race for the Europa League spot.
Stade Rennais kept their dreams of European football alive last Sunday when they hammered 10-man Ajaccio 5-0 at the Stade Francois Coty.
Les Rennais have now won three of their last four matches, scoring a staggering 14 goals and keeping two clean sheets since the last week of April.
This fine run of form has seen Bruno Genesio’s men surge to sixth place in the Ligue 1 table, three points below Saturday’s visitors in the Europa League qualification spot.
Meanwhile, Monaco’s poor late-season form continued as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Olympique Lyon last Friday.
Philippe Clement’s men have failed to win four of their last five matches, losing three and claiming one draw since mid-April.
This poor run of results has been due to their recent lack of sting in attack, where they have scored just three goals in their last five outings.
