Having landed seven of his last eight featured selections, SlipsTips has lined up a Bet Builder for Monaco's meeting with Rennes in Ligue 1 on Wednesday night.
Monaco vs Rennes (Wednesday, 20:00)
Monaco and Rennes will be looking to bounce back from Ligue 1 defeats last time out when they lock horns at the Stade Louis II on Wednesday night.
The hosts saw their five-game unbeaten run come to an end courtesy of a 2-0 defeat at runaway leaders PSG, while the boys from Brittany crashed to a 2-1 defeat at home to Nice.
There isn't a huge amount of appeal in the 1×2 market here but backing each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points looks like a nice alternative at 10/11 with SkyBet.
Monaco have been fairly strong corner performers thus far, with Niko Kovac's crew averaging 5.17 flagkicks per 90, a tally that jumps up to a 6.22 when playing in front of their own supporters.
Rennes, on the other hand, who boast one of the division's strongest attacking records, are averaging a league-high 6.39 corners per-game.
With that in mind, I'm more than happy to back the pair to hit three corners apiece here in what should be an enjoyable match-up in Monte Carlo.
To round off the Bet Builder I'm going with each side to receive 10+ booking points in what should also be a closely-fought battle between two tightly matched teams.
The Principality club are averaging 2.11 yellow cards per outing in Ligue 1 this term, while Bruno Genesio's guests have accumulated an average of 1.61 bookings per-game across their opening 18 contests of the campaign.
Referee Ruddy Buquet is a middle of the range car issuer – averaging 3.86 cautions per 90 minutes – but it's worth noting the French whistler has awarded both teams a card in each of his seven top flight outings this season so far.
With all things considered, coupled with the fact the aforementioned combination has clicked in four of Monaco's last five Ligue 1 matches, the 10/11 (SkyBet) on each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points makes plenty of appeal.
