Each team's lineup is based on their last match in this tournament.
Monaco
The Monegasques ended a three-match winless streak in Ligue 1 (1 draw, 2 losses) by defeating Strasbourg 3-1 in the last round. This victory allowed the club to reclaim the second spot in the French championship standings, although they remain six points behind the leader. It's worth noting that the team failed to keep a clean sheet once again, conceding in three consecutive Ligue 1 matches. Despite this, Monaco boasts the best defensive record in the tournament, with only eight goals conceded.
- No fewer than three goals have been scored in 6 of Monaco's last 8 league matches.
- Monaco has won 7 of their last 10 home matches in Ligue 1 (2 draws, 1 loss).
- The team has not scored more than twice in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament.
Brest
The Bretons suffered their second consecutive defeat in Ligue 1, losing to the tournament's underdog Montpellier 1-3 in the previous match. This marks the second time this season that the club has lost two consecutive matches. Due to these setbacks, Brest has dropped from 10th to 12th in the French championship standings, with a four-point gap to the European competition spots. The team also has a negative goal difference of 14:19.
The club has scored in 7 of their last 9 Ligue 1 matches.
- The Bretons have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 away matches in the league, conceding at least twice in 4 of them.
- Brest's uncompromising away streak in the elite French division stands at 11 matches (5 wins, 6 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in 7 of their last 8 away matches in Ligue 1.
Monaco vs. Brest: Match Prediction
The Monegasques have recovered from a rough patch and managed to secure an away victory against a tough opponent, Strasbourg, who had not lost at home in this championship before facing Monaco. The Bretons, on the other hand, are experiencing a downturn, struggling due to a lack of experience in competing on two fronts. While the team is performing well in the Champions League, they are in the lower half of the French championship standings.
In the last round, Brest even managed to lose to the hopeless underdog of Ligue 1, Montpellier, conceding three goals. Facing one of the tournament leaders, the Bretons will have a much tougher challenge. They have already struggled away from home this season in Ligue 1, losing 4 of their 5 matches (1 win). Moreover, the club has lost to the Monegasques in five consecutive French championship matches, conceding at least twice in four of them.
I believe the prolific hosts will once again defeat their favorable opponent, scoring at least two goals. Therefore, my prediction is: Home win and Monaco to score over 1.5 goals
