Betting on Brest
Brest’s impressive five-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1 came to a halt last week with a loss on the road to Montpellier. The recent winning streak allowed Brest to climb out of the relegation zone and move up to 15th place with 20 points. Nonetheless, they are aware that they are only two points ahead of Strasbourg, Ajaccio, and Auxerre, all of whom currently reside in the red zone of Ligue 1.
However, Eric Roy’s side will be hoping to bounce back when they face high-flying Monaco on matchday 24. The narrow gap means that Brest cannot afford to slip up in their upcoming match against a formidable Monaco side.
To make matters worse for Brest, they have struggled at home this season and currently sit as the fifth-worst home team in Ligue 1, having only earned 11 points from 11 matches. However, they have shown improvements in their home form by remaining undefeated in their last five home matches.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Marco Bizot; Kenny Lala, Achraf Dari, Christophe Herelle, Lilian Brassier; Pierre Lees-Melou; Alberth Elis, Mahdi Camara, Hugo Magnetti, Jeremy Le Douaron; Steve Mounie.
Betting on AS Monaco
Monaco’s aspirations of becoming the leader of Ligue 1 are still alive, thanks in part to their impressive victory over PSG last week. The team managed by Philippe Clement has gone eight matches without a defeat and currently sits in third place in the table with 47 points, one point ahead of fourth-placed Lens in the race for a Champions League spot, and seven points behind PSG in first position.
In addition to their solid league form, Monaco has just added another victory to their tally, a 2-3 win against Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs. They are the second-highest scoring team in Ligue 1 this season with 51 goals, only four behind leaders PSG, and have scored 22 goals during their unbeaten run of eight matches.
When it comes to playing away from home, Monaco’s performances have been impressive with 24 points earned from 11 matches played. They are also unbeaten in their last four away matches.
Probable lineup (4-4-1-1): Alexander Nubel; Chrislain Matsima, Axel Disasi, Guillermo Maripan, Caio Henrique; Krepin Diatta, Youssouf Fofana, Mohamed Camara, Aleksandr Golovin; Takumi Minamino; Breel Embolo.
JefeBet Prediction
Brest have been playing much better since the return from the World Cup break, but this Sunday they unfortunately face an opponent that is on a roll and with a squad that is less hit by injuries.
In addition, Monaco has only lost on four occasions and is one of the best away clubs in Ligue 1.
Goals have been falling left and right for Monaco and this Sunday a win is more than necessary for them to keep pace with PSG, who are not playing at their best.
Prediction: Monaco to win (BRE 0 – MON 2).
