Monaco vs Rennes Prediction 25 January 2025

🔊 Will Rennes suffer their fifth consecutive defeat? In the 19th round of Ligue 1, the "red and blacks" will play away against Monaco, making it extremely difficult for them to break their winless streak. Although the hosts are not in their best form, they remain one of the best teams in France. Moreover, they regained confidence in their abilities in a crucial Champions League match. We will discuss the most likely scenario of this meeting in our editorial prediction.

📊 H2H

In head-to-head meetings, Monaco has a significant advantage, having won seven out of the last ten encounters. Rennes managed to win only two during this period. These matches are usually not too "dry," but in the last five games, no more than three goals were scored. Therefore, it is worth considering the option of a Total goals under 3.5.

🔴 Monaco

Monaco finally managed to secure a victory, but it happened not in the domestic arena. Their four-match losing streak was broken in the Champions League, where the Monegasques narrowly defeated Aston Villa (1:0). However, in Ligue 1, an unpleasant trend has emerged; in the last round, Golovin and company even lost to Montpellier (1:2), which occupies the last place in the standings. As a result, the team has already fallen out of the top three and is now in fourth place.

Many Monaco players are recovering quickly and are coming out of the infirmary. Among those who will definitely not play in the next match are forwards Balogun and Ilenikena.

⚫ Rennes

Rennes still cannot get back on track and start earning points. The year 2025 began for them with four defeats, three of which were in Ligue 1, and one occurred in the French Cup. In the national championship, the "red and blacks" have not yet found themselves in the relegation zone but are sharing 14th-16th place with Nantes and Saint-Étienne, who also have 17 points. The team's away results are particularly dismal, as they have managed to earn only one point in eight away games in the 2024/25 season.

There is stability not only in Rennes' poor results but also in their list of injured players. No new names have appeared on it for quite some time; goalkeeper Alemdar and defender Seidu remain on it.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Away from home, Rennes shows poor defensive play, conceding in every match and often in large numbers. In eight away games, the "red and blacks" have allowed their opponents to score as many as 18 goals. Playing as the dominant team, the Monegasques can easily score a couple of goals against such an opponent. Therefore, our editorial team recommends betting on Monaco's individual total goals over 1.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

The average number of corners in matches involving Rennes is 6.4 corners, with only one of the last ten games exceeding nine corner kicks. Based on this statistic, it is worth considering the option of Total corners under 9.5.

📝 Match Prediction

The year 2025 is not shaping up well for both teams, but at least Monaco has already tasted victory. Rennes fights valiantly with their opponents but cannot even secure a draw, regularly losing by one goal difference. We believe that the match will end with a Monaco victory with a score of 2:1.

The Monegasques need to return to the battle for medals. After recent setbacks, they have fallen out of the top three but remain close to their competitors. Rennes, weak on the road, can be considered a suitable opponent for a long-awaited success in the championship. Therefore, our editorial team advises betting on Monaco's victory.
