LiontipsMonaco vs Brest. Prediction (odds 2.35) and bets on the match of the French championship
Command Analysis
Current form
At the end of October and the beginning of November, Monaco suffered a series of failures. The Monegasques suffered two defeats in a row in Ligue 1, but managed to collect their thoughts in time and first won against Bologna in the Champions League with a score of 1:0, and then against Strasbourg in the national championship - 3:1.
After 11 rounds played, Adi Hütter men have 23 points and are in second place in the standings. They are six points behind the leading PSG, and three points ahead of their closest pursuer, Marseille.
The hosts currently have the best defensive line in Ligue 1. In all the matches they have played, they have conceded only eight goals, while they have scored 18. They can clearly improve in attack, since many clubs have already broken the 20-goal mark, and PSG have crossed the 30-goal mark.
At home, Monaco plays well. The exception is the last match against Angers, in which the Monegasques suffered a fiasco (0:1). Of course, the fans hope that the almost two-week break has been good for the players and that the upcoming match will start a new streak of victories at the Louis II stadium.
Disqualifications and injuries
Baloghan, Diop, Golovin and Zakaria are all injured, while Kamara is suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monaco have won their last two matches
- The hosts have scored in four of their last five matches
- The hosts have conceded in four of their last five games
Estimated line-up: Maetsky - Wanderson, Singo, Kerer, Caio Henrique - Akliush, Magassa, Minamino - Embolo, Ilenihena, Ben Seghir.
Current form
In the current season, Brest is in turmoil in the national championship. In 11 matches played, the club has four wins, one draw and six losses. Such indicators do not allow them to be even in the top 10 (12th place). The club has problems both with the attack (14 goals scored) and with the defense - 19 conceded. Before the international break, the "pirates" lost to Montpellier (1:3), which, by the way, is in last place in the tournament table.
Brest plays on two fronts. Eric Roy charges are successfully playing matches in the Champions League. In four rounds played, the club has three wins and one draw. It is possible that the team shows such poor results in the national championship precisely because of its participation in European Cups, since the visitors do not have a huge reserve of highly qualified footballers to constantly make quality castling.
Disqualifications and injuries
Loko will not take part in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brest have scored away from home in four consecutive matches
- The visitors have conceded in their last six games.
- The team has won three of its last four away games
Estimated line-up: Bizot - Lala, Chardonnay, Coulibaly, Amavi - Fernandez, Lis-Melou, Camara - Balde, Ajorque, Doumbia.

1.50Tip and bets
In the national championship, Monaco demonstrates more powerful football, especially when the game is played with the support of the local crowd. From the very first minutes, the Monegasques try to settle in the opponent half of the field, and in most cases they succeed.
Brest sometimes demonstrates its helplessness in the French Ligue 1. If the "pirates" lose by a few goals to the last team in the French league, it is unlikely that they will be able to demonstrate anything competent against a team from among the leaders, which has gained good form and clearly does not intend to slow down. Last year, Brest lost by two goals at the Louis II stadium. The team is not playing better in the current competition.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Monaco with odds of 2.35
Bet on total
Brest is not known for its high scoring record on the road. In the last five away matches in the French Ligue 1, the Pirates have scored no more than one goal per match.
Monaco often concede at home. To be more precise, this has happened in six of the last seven matches. At the same time, given that Brest clearly wants to finish the Champions League stage in style, it is unlikely that it will spend much energy on a confrontation with one of the leaders of the national championship. We are inclined to believe that the Monegasques, like the two previous face-to-face matches, will be able to win without scoring.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 2.02
Bet on corners
From our description it is clear that the game should not be played with counter sails. The teams will pay a lot of attention to defensive actions, and, as we believe, many serves from the corner flag will not be recorded.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.68
