Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Monaco
The Monegasques ended a run of three matches without a win in Ligue 1 (1 draw, 2 losses) by defeating Strasbourg 3-1 in the previous round. This victory allowed the club to return to second place in the French championship standings, although they remain six points behind the leader. It's worth noting that the team once again failed to keep a clean sheet, having conceded in three consecutive Ligue 1 matches. Despite this, Monaco boasts the best defensive record in the tournament, with only eight goals conceded.
- At least three goals have been scored in six of Monaco's last eight Ligue 1 matches.
- Monaco has won seven of their last ten home matches in Ligue 1 (2 draws, 1 loss).
- The team has not scored more than two goals in five of their last six 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 their previous match. As a result, the club lost two consecutive matches for the second time in the current championship. Due to recent setbacks, Brest has dropped from 10th to 12th place in the French championship standings, with a four-point gap from the European competition zone. The team also has a negative goal difference of 14:19.
- The club has scored in seven of their last nine Ligue 1 matches.
- The Bretons have failed to keep a clean sheet in five consecutive away matches in the championship, conceding at least twice in four 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 seven of Brest's last eight away matches in Ligue 1.
Monaco vs. Brest: Match Prediction
The Monegasques have bounced back from a rough patch and managed to secure an away victory against a tough opponent – Strasbourg, who had not lost at home in the current championship before facing Monaco. On the other hand, the Bretons are experiencing a downturn, struggling due to a lack of experience playing on two fronts. The team performs well in the Champions League but is in the lower half of the table in the French championship.
In the last round, Brest even managed to lose to the hopeless Ligue 1 underdog Montpellier, conceding three goals. Facing one of the tournament leaders, the Bretons will find it much tougher. They have already struggled away from home this season in Ligue 1, losing four of their five matches (1 win). Moreover, Brest has lost to Monaco in five consecutive French championship matches, conceding at least two goals in four of them.
I believe that the prolific hosts will once again defeat a convenient opponent, scoring at least two goals. Therefore, my prediction is Monaco to win and individual total over 1.5 goals.
