Ligue 1 2024-2025: Monaco-Rennes, the likely formations
Monaco-Rennes, the probable formations
Monaco-Rennes, a match valid for the 19th day of Ligue 1 starting at 5 p.m., è a challenge between two teams struggling with a decidedly difficult period. The hosts will take the field at the Louis II after picking up two points in their last matches: they are still fourth in the standings, but the risk of slipping away from the Champions League zone è concrete. Even worse is the period of the guests, third-last together with Nantes and coming off three consecutive knockouts.
Monaco tries to lift itself up by relying on the quality of its most classy players, especially Akliouche, Minamino and Ben Seghir: all on the pitch behind Biereth’s only point. The midfield dyke will be composed of Camara and Zakaria, while Vanderson and Caio Henrique will line up on the defensive lanes, either side of Singo and Kehrer.
Jorge Sampaoli, on the other hand, is aiming for a very cautious formation, with the clear objective of seeking at least a point that would move the standings, and then possibly take advantage of any counterattack opportunities. The defense è thus; at 5, with Hateboer on the right and Truffert on the opposite side. The midfield will also be stuffed with men, with Gouiri at the height of the midfielders behind Kalimuendo as the only forward.
Probable lineups
Monaco (4-2-3-1): Majecki; Vanderson, Singo, Kehrer, Caio Henrique; Camara, Zakaria; Akliouche, Minamino, Ben Seghir; Biereth. Coach: Hutter.
.
Rennes (5-4-1): Samba; Hateboer, Faye, Ostigard, Wooh, Truffert; Blas, James, Matusiwa, Gouiri; Kalimuendo. Coach: Sampaoli
