Monaco vs Brest Prediction

Monaco Form

Monaco added two wins to their account in their three most recent outings, as they beat Toulouse by 0-2.

Monaco claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored 13 and conceded ten goals.

Monaco remain on course for the podium which was also a minimum target for the current Ligue 1 season.

Brest are inconsistent at the moment, with two defeats and a win to show from their last three matches. They lost 1-0 against Nice, won 2-1 against Troyes, before dropping points again in a 2-4 defeat against Lyon. Brest only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Ligue 1.
