In search of their first Ligue 1 victory away from home in over two months, Monaco will travel to Roazhon Park on Saturday for a date with Rennes on matchday 15 of the domestic campaign.
Stade Rennais lost a chippy affair against Marseille 2-0 last Sunday, dropping them down to 12th in the table, while Les Monegasques are now within two points of Nice for second after defeating Montpellier 2-0.
We say: Rennes 1-2 Monaco
Les Monegasques have been consistently sharp in the attacking third throughout most of the campaign, while Rennes have been a little over-aggressive lately, which has come back to cost them domestically.
In the end, we expect the visitors' consistent quality will power them to another victory against a side missing a pivotal addition to their backline in Wooh.

One of the hottest clubs in Europe right now can match their longest winning run in Ligue 1 from the 2021-22 campaign as Paris Saint-Germain host Nantes on Saturday at the Parc des Princes.
The league leaders began the month of December by winning a seventh successive domestic fixture, 2-0 over Le Havre, while La Maison Jaune were 1-0 winners against Nice, handing the Southern French side their first defeat in the top-flight this season.
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 Nantes
The last two matches for Nantes in this competition were against defensive-minded sides, and we expect the speed and quality of Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, among others, will be too much for the visitors to handle this weekend.
