Brest vs Monaco Prediction and Betting Tips

Brest will invite Monaco to the Stade Francis-Le Blé in Ligue 1 on Friday. The visitors have won seven of their 14 league games and have a seven-point lead over the 11th-placed Pirates.

The hosts made it two wins in two games last week, recording a 2-1 away triumph over Strasbourg. They conceded in the 11th minute, but second-half goals from Romain Del Castillo and Hugo Magnetti helped them secure a comeback win.

Les Monégasques, meanwhile, returned to winning ways after three games in their previous league outing with a 1-0 home triumph over defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Takumi Minamino scored the only goal of the match in the 68th minute, and Thilo Kehrer was sent off in the 80th minute.

• Brest have won just one of their last seven games in this fixture, with that triumph registered at home last season.

Brest vs Monaco Prediction

Les Pirates were winless in six games before the international break, but they have won their last two games while scoring five goals. They have won just four of their last 12 games in this fixture, with all of the wins registered at home.

Captain Brendan Chardonnet was subbed off against Strasbourg with an eye injury and will sit this one out. Bradley Locko and Radoslaw Majecki are major doubts.

Les Monégasques registered their first win after the international break last week and will look to continue that form. Just two of their seven wins in Ligue 1 this season have been registered on their travels.

Folarin Balogun is likely to start from the bench here given the upcoming UEFA Europa League match against Galatasaray. Ansu Fati and Eric Dier remain sidelined with injuries, while Thilo Kehrer and Denis Zakaria are suspended.

Les Pirates have failed to score in three of their last four home games in Ligue 1, and they have also failed to score in two of their last four games in this fixture. With that in mind, and considering the Principality club’s recent record against the hosts, we back Les Monégasques to eke out a narrow win.
