Monaco vs Brest Match Preview
Monaco finally ended their winless streak as they pocketed an interesting victory over Nice (3-1) earlier this week, where Aleksandr Golovin bagged a brace and Wissam Ben Yedder added a goal late in the game itself. Leonardo Jardim saw a jigsaw falling into place with the players returning from injury and will definitely want to build momentum.
Les Monegasques have scored the first goal too, but had more problems utilizing, netting seven goals in four events and won three points along the way. They have seen a draw against Nimes (2-2), Strasbourg (2-2) and Reims (0-0) and suffered a 3-4 loss to Marseille thriller along the way, they saw a lot of positive things to build.
Brest have their own unbeaten streak although somewhat difficult schedule and they will have high hopes they can build here. The visitors held Rennes (0-0), Bordeaux (2-2) and Lyon (2-2) for a more attractive and interesting will want at least a point at the Stade Louis II as well, promising a strong challenge.
Olivier Dall'Oglio man sits two points clear of rivals and would want to survive, despite their struggle for consistency away from home. They have conceded a goal on the road and the number can be more alarming, especially if Monaco managed to keep hold high team spirit we saw on Tuesday.
We did feel the side of the house will be able to do it and we are now going back to Monaco to secure the three points, where victory Houses now comes off as more of a banker bet at 8/15 with Ladbrokes despite the exciting opportunities in the decision at the Stade Louis II.
We have seen both sides enjoyed quite thriller lately and with that in mind, we look forward to an opportunity like no other here. Both recent note they also pointed in the direction of such a claim, because we now go to Yes in the Both teams to score at 17/20.

Monaco vs Brest Betting Tips
Both teams have played just three games in the history of Head-to-Head of them. The last time the two teams faced each other, the match was won by Brest 2: 0. We do not usually see a lot of goals scored in their duel. In fact, we have seen only once both teams scored. Monaco started the season a disaster because they only have three points from six matches played. They have conceded 14 goals already or almost 2.5 per game, believe it or not. Marseille have scored four in their last game, take the 3 points from Monaco.
On the other hand, Brest have seven points from six matches, but the only difference is their defense. Their defense is not good as they conceded seven goals in their nets through six games earlier this season. They are a team with some flaws of course, because they have scored just 5 goals or below one per game. By looking at all of this, I see a poor match between two teams that ended goalless ever scored.
Prediction
Monaco appear to have settled their defensive worries by settling on a 3-5-2 while their goalscoring power seems strong as ever, making a home win easy choice here.
Brest had a knack this season for surprising results, but like Monaco on the road seems a bridge too far Breton side, especially given their probable lack of rotation.
Prediction:
Monaco 2-0 Brest
