AS Monaco are searching for their first victory in Ligue 1 since November as they host Stade Rennais in tonight’s fixture. Pressure has been mounting on the club, with reports suggesting that CEO Thiago Scuro’s position is under scrutiny, emerging earlier in the week. 

Head coach Sébastien Pocognoli remains without a solid chunk of his squad, with Lukas Hradecky, Eric Dier, Mohammed Salisu, Takumi Minamino, Wout Faes, and Paul Pogba all injured. The good news is that Krepin Diatta should at least return to the bench after recovering from an illness. 

Monaco should field the same starting eleven as the one that began during the midweek stalemate against Juventus, with captain Denis Zakaria dropping from midfield into the backline to form a back three.
