AS Monaco vs Stade Brestois Preview
AS Monaco
Before the international break, Monaco managed to win two tough matches against Bologna and Strasbourg. Any slip-ups in those fixtures could have left the Monegasques in a precarious position domestically and in Europe.
Monaco are the most pressing team in Europe. On average, their opponents manage only six successful passes before losing possession under Monaco’s high-intensity approach.

As a result, the Monegasques are second among the clubs in the top 5 leagues in terms of the number of tackles and third in the domestic championship in interceptions.
However, Monaco are facing serious difficulties in the centre of the field. Lamine Camara is suspended due to yellow card accumulation, while Denis Zakaria and Aleksandr Golovin are doubtful due to injuries. Their absence may leave Monaco facing challenges in maintaining their usual midfield control and tempo.
Stade Brestois
Brest stand out with their impressive performances in the Champions League this season. However, they are close to the relegation zone in Ligue 1.
Until the end of 2024, Eric Roy’s men will have a very difficult calendar, with daunting fixtures against Monaco, Barcelona, and Lille on the horizon.
Brest’s style of play is distinctive, heavily relying on aerial dominance. In terms of the number of accurate long passes, Brest have no equal in Ligue 1.

In addition, Brest are second only to Lens in the number of passes into the penalty area and successful headers. It is also worth noting that no team in Ligue 1 has scored so many goals from penalties (5).
In terms of squad availability, Brest are relatively unscathed by injuries, with left-back Bradley Locko the only notable absentee. The 22-year-old defender would certainly strengthen the squad, but the team has adapted well to his prolonged absence.
Bet hereAS Monaco vs Stade Brestois Prediction
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.65 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: AS Monaco 3-1 Stade Brestois
At least three goals were scored in six of Monaco’s 11 Ligue 1 games. At the same time, at least three goals were scored in four of Brest’s five away matches. Both numbers are high in terms of efficiency.
The Monegasques need to show effectiveness in the attack after two frustrating home games without goals. Meanwhile, Brest’s preference for an open, attacking style often leaves gaps in their defense.

We think that the sides will pressure each other and create numerous opportunities in the final third. A high-scoring affair is anticipated, and our pick for this encounter is over 2.5 goals.
AS Monaco vs Stade Brestois Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Monaco to Win (-1.5) Handicap
- Odds: 2.35 (22Bet)
Monaco have a huge advantage in H2H meetings. The Monegasques won in the last five face-to-face matches on home turf. Moreover, in four of those clashes, Monaco outscored their opponents by at least two goals
In turn, Brest lost four of five away matches with a difference of two goals or more. The visitors’ focus on their Champions League campaign appears to have come at the expense of their domestic performance, as they edge closer to the relegation zone.
Despite their losses in the centre of the field, Monaco will have the initiative and grab a convincing victory. Our forecast for this match is that Monaco will win with a handicap (-1.5).
