Brest vs Monaco Predictions

• Brest’s last two matches have finished 4-3
• Ten of Monaco’s most recent 11 away fixtures have seen both teams score
• Brest have only failed to net in one of their last 13 home outings

Will Brest respond?

Brest are clinging on to a place in Ligue 1’s top three at the moment, but their position in the table was not helping by a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat to Lyon last weekend, when their opponents – 3-0 down after 67 minutes – netted a late, late penalty to earn the victory.

That shows their are defensive frailties for Eric Roy to worry about as his side chase a position in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.

The Pirates, who beat relegation-threatened Metz 4-3 a week earlier, have only kept one clean sheet in their last five fixtures, with both teams scoring in three of those games, although they have netted in 12 of their last 13 ties at home.

Monaco hot on their heels

They take on a Monaco side who are just one place and one point below them in the table following a six-game unbeaten run in which they have won four games.

The visitors are struggling defensively themselves though, seeing both teams score in ten of their last 11 away fixtures, as well as 12 of their 15 outings at all venues since just before Christmas.

Indeed, Adi Hütter’s side have conceded more goals – 38 – than any other team in Ligue 1’s top six, but hey are on a four-match winning streak on the road.

I predict that both teams will score in this match ,with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
