The Matchday 15 clash in Ligue 1 between Brest and Monaco will take place on December 5 at Stade Francis-Le Blé. Brest vs. Monaco: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Brest
The Bretons have had a successful run in their last two league matches, achieving back-to-back victories for the second time this season. Eric Roy's side first defeated Metz at home (3-2), followed by an away win against Strasbourg (2-1). Prior to this, the club went six matches without a win in Ligue 1 (3 draws and 3 losses). The team has slightly improved its league position, moving up to 11th place and creating a five-point gap from the relegation zone.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Brest's last 7 Ligue 1 matches.

Monaco
Monaco surprised everyone in the last round by defeating PSG 1-0 at home, ending a three-match losing streak in the league. Interestingly, it was only the second match this season where the team managed to keep a clean sheet. Monaco has climbed to 7th place, just three points away from the top four. Their matches remain the highest-scoring in Ligue 1, with an average of 3.6 goals per game.
- Both teams have scored in 9 of Monaco's last 12 league matches.

Brest vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
Despite Monaco's victory against PSG in the last round, I expect them to struggle in this upcoming match. Monaco is not as strong on the road as they are at home and often drop points. In their last 18 away league matches, the club has secured only 4 victories. Moreover, Monaco concedes too many goals away from home.
The Bretons are a formidable opponent at home for many teams. In their last 9 home Ligue 1 matches, they have only lost to two Parisian teams. The club often manages to concede no more than one goal, so Monaco will likely face challenges in converting their chances. Notably, Brest defeated Monaco 2-1 at home last season. Therefore, I predict the hosts will at least avoid defeat in this encounter.
My prediction: Brest to win or draw
