Brest - Monaco prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 5, 2025
One of the matches of the 28th round of the French championship will be played on Saturday at the "Stade Francis Le Blé" arena, where local Brest will host Monaco. I suggest betting on goals in this match with good odds.
Match preview
Brest confidently dealt with Toulouse in the last round (4:2), extending their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 to three matches (2 wins, 1 draw). This successful run allowed the Bretons to rise from 10th to 8th place and reduce the gap to the European competition zone to six points.
Interestingly, Brest remains the only club in the championship with a zero goal difference – 42:42. It is worth noting the team's reliable performance at home: in the last two home matches of Ligue 1, Brest did not concede. Overall, in the last 11 rounds, the club has lost only twice, securing six wins and three draws.
Monaco has picked up excellent momentum, winning the last two championship matches against Angers (2:0) and Nice (2:1). Monaco's unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 has reached four matches, three of which ended in victories. The success in the derby with Nice was particularly important, as it allowed the team to rise to second place in the table and prevent PSG from securing the championship prematurely.
Monaco's scoring streak in the championship has continued for 12 rounds, with the team scoring at least twice in eight of them. In total, the club has scored 53 times in the current Ligue 1 season – the third-best result after PSG (79) and Marseille (54). Interestingly, in the last away match of Ligue 1, Monaco finally broke a seven-match winless streak on the road (3 draws, 4 losses), securing an important three points.
Probable lineups
- Brest: Marco Bizot – Kenny Lala, Julien Le Cardinal, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, Justine Bourgault – Pierre Le-Melou, Mahdi Camara, Kamory Doumbia – Mathias Pereira Lage, Ludovic Ajorque, Mama Baldé
