Rennes Wants to Return to the UEFA Champions League
One season playing in the UEFA Europa Conference League was enough for Rennes. The Red and Blacks want to return to the Champions League and they’re very close to achieving it.
Finishing third would be enough, but the Red and Blacks aspire to finish as the runners-up. To depend only on themselves, they need to defeat AS Monaco and wait for Marseille to lose against PSG. The Olympians will visit the Parisians on Sunday.
Most recently, Rennes defeated Reims 3-2. We hope you followed our advice to include the over in your soccer picks. At one point, the Red and Blacks were up 3-0, but Reims closed the gap at the end of the game. Benjamin Bourigeaud was named the Man of the Match after scoring twice.
Martin Terrier, the team’s top scorer with 18 goals, also scored in their last game. And let’s not forget about Gaetan Laborde, who has scored 14 goals. Rennes is the only team with two players among the league’s top five scorers.
The home side is offering a +105 price to win straight up. That’s a good deal considering the Red and Blacks won their last five home games with a 20-1 aggregate.

AS Monaco’s recent winning streak includes a 3-0 victory over PSG. Wissam Ben Yedder, the team’s top scorer with 18 goals, led the way by scoring the first two goals. Kevin Volland, another name you should write down, sealed the deal.
That victory was a huge confidence booster and Most recently, they defeated Troyes 2-1 with goals from Volland and Caio Henrique. The crazy part is that Volland has been coming off the bench.
Monaco is 2-1-2 in its last five road games, scoring in all matches but one. As mentioned before, they’re offering a +255 price to win straight up on Friday. They recently pulled off a betting online upset under similar circumstances by defeating Marseille 1-0 while offering a +220 price.
