Monaco play host to Rennes in Monte Carlo

Monaco will look to get their Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat at the hands of Juventus out of their system when they welcome midtable Rennes to the Stade Louis II on Saturday evening.

With just four points separating them from league leaders Lyon, Leonardo Jardim’s men, who currently sit third in the domestic standings, could still stake a late claim for the Ligue 1 title.

Meanwhile, ninth-placed Rennes approach the encounter in decent form, having registered three victories in their last five outings, including four clean sheets.

There should also be added bite to the contest as Monaco go in search of avenging November’s reverse fixture, when they succumbed to a 2-0 away loss.
