Head-to-head statistics Brest - Monaco
Stade Brest Team Overview
🔴 Brest are a solid mid-table team, who have significantly improved their performance in recent weeks, climbing to 9th place in the standings. For Éric Roy's squad, it was crucial to pull away from the relegation zone, as they can now breathe easier and play a much more aggressive style of football, as demonstrated in their last two rounds.
⚪ Notably, Brest have secured six points in their last two matches, defeating Metz at home (3-2) and Strasbourg away (2-1). Against the "Racing," Éric Roy's men showed great determination, managing to come from behind during the match, and against Metz, they even netted the winning goal in the 100th minute of added time. In short, Brest's players have nerves of steel.

Monaco Team Overview
🔴 This season, Monaco can confidently be labeled as the most unpredictable team. From an unexpected coaching change to their performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, they've been full of surprises. Judge for yourself-Monaco have lost to underdogs and mid-table teams, yet they manage to pick up points against the likes of PSG and Manchester City.
⚪ In their latest Ligue 1 fixture, Sébastien Pocognoli's side snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0. This home victory was crucial for Monaco, as it's hard to imagine what the club's management would have done with the new coaching staff had they failed. Takumi Minamino scored the only goal of the match, and Monaco, down to ten men, held on to secure the vital result until the final whistle.

Latest news
Stade Brest
❌ Brest are uncertain about the participation of goalkeeper Radosław Majecki in the upcoming match due to a knee injury he sustained in early November. The Polish keeper has missed two rounds because of this issue. Bradley Locko is also doubtful with a thigh injury. The French defender has missed two Ligue 1 matches.
Monaco
🎙 Aleksandr Golovin, having recovered from injury, is becoming an increasingly important figure for Monaco. Recently, the Russian midfielder commented on his role within the team: "I am not vying for the captaincy. Two years ago, it was decided that Denis Zakaria would be captain because he speaks five languages, knows how to motivate the team, and deserves the role more than I do. I enjoy playing for Monaco and over the past seasons, I feel more like a leader. I'm not very vocal in the locker room, but in tough moments for the team, I can take on that responsibility. Otherwise, I prefer to lead by example through my performance on the pitch."
🟥 Monaco have two players suspended: Denis Zakaria and Thilo Kehrer. Both will miss the upcoming match as they serve bans for red cards received in previous rounds.
❌ Monaco's injury list includes several key players who won't be available for the game against Brest. Ansu Fati is sidelined with a muscle injury, Folarin Balogun has a groin issue, and Eric Dier is dealing with a game-related injury.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Thomas Leonard. On average, he issues 3.61 yellow cards per game over a span of 100 matches, with 24 fouls per game. In 14 Ligue 1 matches, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Brest averages 1.6 per game, while Monaco averages 2.5. Given that both teams receive relatively few cautions this season, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 5.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Brest's individual average in the league is 1.4 goals per match, whereas Monaco's stands at 1.9. The goal-scoring potential in matches involving these teams is quite high: the hosts average 3.1 goals, and the visitors 3.6. Considering this data, we recommend betting on total match goals over 2.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In thirteen Ligue 1 matches, Brest averages 4.4 corners per game, with Monaco matching that statistic over the same period. Both teams rarely earn corner kicks and show below-average league stats, so we advise placing a bet on total corners under 10.5.
Editorial Prediction
Brest have shown decent form in recent rounds, but their victories have relied on a bit of luck. Monaco managed to break their losing streak in a tough match against the reigning champions, which not only motivates them but also boosts their confidence moving forward. We anticipate a second consecutive victory for the Monégasques, this time more convincingly with a scoreline of 3-1. Considering Monaco have won six out of their last seven head-to-head encounters with Brest, betting on a victory for the visitors seems highly promising.
