A first big shock this season. Stade Rennes arrives at the Stade Louis-II to face AS Monaco of Philippe Clement, Saturday August 9 at 5 p.m.
At home, the principality’s players will try to erase the disillusionment with PSV Eindhoven in the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League. Eliminated in the race for the cup with big ears and donated to the Europa League, the princely club will seek to win against the Bretons against whom it remains on three consecutive victories. Better still, since their rise to Ligue 1 in 2013, the Red and Whites have only lost three times in the league, for a more than positive record (nine wins, five draws and three defeats).
During the first day, Rennes started its season by losing at home and to everyone’s surprise against the neighbor Lorient (0-1). A false start at the pace of warning for the fourth of last season, which aims at the top of the table this year. For its part, Monaco suffered but won at the Meinau stadium against Strasbourg (2-1). A great victory in a stadium where the Alsatians had lost only three times last season in the league.
