One of the standout matches in France’s Ligue 1 will take place in Brest this weekend, as two of the top three teams collide. A victory for either Brest or Monaco would see them end the round in second spot in the league standings.
A fascinating showdown is set for Ligue 1 this weekend, as Brest and AS Monaco collide. The two sides are separated by just a point in the current league standings, with the visitors sitting second. However, Monaco have played a game less than their rivals, meaning that there will be pressure on the hosts to claim the points in their race for a Champions League finish.
Brest comes into this round of matches after losing twice across their last five matches in France, while their defeat last weekend ended a two-game winning sequence in the competition. Brest would have been disappointed to have lost their previous outing against Lyon, as they led for a long period in the closing stages. But, the hosts eventually stole the points after netting a penalty in the 16th minute of injury time.
Monaco sit third in the standings coming into this round of matches, but they could move up to second if they are able to claim a victory this weekend. The Ligue 1 side have won three of their last four matches, which has enabled them to open up a three-point advantage in the race for the final Champions League position.
Monaco landed a second straight league win in their previous fixture after securing a 1-0 success at home against Reims. They held on well in that fixture, despite being reduced to ten men in the final half an hour. Their winning effort was netted after just 25 minutes by Maghnes Akliouche.
Monaco have a very strong record in this fixture after winning each of their last four clashes with Brest. That includes a 2-1 success in this exact fixture last term. However, Brest have won three of their last four home matches against their rivals since 2011.
Monaco’s record in this fixture could be the most telling factor to follow this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the visitors landing a much-needed success over their rivals to move into the top two positions in the Ligue 1 standings.
