Monaco vs Brest Match Preview

Monaco welcome Brest in Stade Louis II for the 8th round of French League 1.

Monaco registered their first win in the League in the midweek game against Nice (3-1). Their performance was great so they deservedly gained their first three-pointer. However, they are still low placed on the table. They definitely need another win to climb higher. The 26yo Ruben Aguilar served his suspension, while Wissam Ben Yedder and Islam Slimani are the expected offensive duo for Leonardo Jardim.

Brest registered their third consecutive draw in the League. Their bore draw with Rennes at home was followed by a 2-2 draw in Bordeaux's home and the last one was the previous Wednesday against Lyon (2-2). Now they sit on the 13th place of the table, having 8 points. They fight and have a lot of passion in their performances. In contrast, they don't have much quality. There are no missings tonight for the away team.

The midweek win over Nice could shake these season's 'sleeping' Monaco. They have quality and they are on a high flying mood, so I expect them to win even with a single goal difference against mediocre Brest.
