The Roazhon Park is the stage for this massive six-pointer involving the top two teams on the Ligue 1 standings. With identical records heading into this game, Stade Rennes and Monaco go at each other on Saturday. Which side will occupy that No. 1 spot at the end of the 90 minutes?

In the last seven meetings, both sides have found each other's nets. However, with regards to the past seventeen meetings, Monaco has established dominance given that they've won 10 of those games. It also has to be noted that they haven't lost in three games against Stade Rennes.

Rennes inspiration start to the 2020/2021 campaign.

The Rennes supporters will surely be hoping their team can keep up with the high standards they set for themselves given their 3rd place finish at the end of the Ligue 1 season. Although it's still too early to tell, Stade Rennes is certainly shaping up to be a team that would be tough to beat this season.

They put four goals past Nimes Olympique in their previous match as they bagged their first away win of the season. Stade Rennes, however, will need to work on their defensive solidity if they're to push for a European place this season. The team, although, have copped seven points from the opening three games, have conceded in all three games.

The Monégasques club keen on being more consistent

They started the campaign with the aim to correct that, and are looking like a team that would be consistent this campaign.

Cesc Faregas produced an inspirational performance as he led his team to a 2-1 victory at home to Nantes. Diop and Geubells grabbed the all-important goals to add another three points to their side's current points tally.
