Monaco vs Brest Prediction & Betting Tips (22 November)

Winner in Strasbourg 1-3 before the international break, AS Monaco took advantage of Marseille's misstep at the same time to take 2nd place in the standings. The Principality club reacted well after being defeated in Nice 2-1 then at home by Angers 0-1 to everyone's surprise. These defeats impacted Monaco in the race for first place since PSG now has a 6-point lead. Adi Hütter's team must play in the Champions League alongside its journey in Ligue 1. A table in which the Asemists, winners in Bologna 0-1 at the beginning of November, are doing rather well. They are in 3rd place in the standings and will want to confirm their good disposition on the European scene next Wednesday against Benfica.

Brest must also juggle with the Champions League but appearing well in parallel in Ligue 1 is more problematic for a Breton team not used to appear on the European scene. While it is surprising, in a good way, in C1, Eric Roy's team, which beat Sparta Prague 1-2 in early November and ranks 4th in the most prestigious European cup, is only 12th. of the championship ranking. It remains on defeats in the exercise against Nice 0-1 and the red lantern Montpellier 3-1. The SB29 must even look carefully in its rearview mirror because it is ahead of the virtual barrage Saint-Etienne by only 3 points. 

Monaco is preparing for this meeting without midfielder Edan Diop (no matches) or striker Balogun (3 goals in Ligue 1), who are absent for a long period. The starting midfielder Camara, warned in the last three championship matches, must serve a one-match suspension. Still in the midfield, captain Zakaria is uncertain like the promising Akliouche (2 goals in the Champions League). These two elements had to respectively withdraw from the national gatherings of Switzerland and the French junior team. Ben Seghir, with his double, was one of the supporters of Monaco's victory in Strasbourg before the international break.

 For Stade Brestois, only the long-term injured Locko should be missing. This was already the case in Montpellier where the Bretons then took the water but relied on a goal from midfielder Martin, little used this season, to hope for a return to the score which however did not take place. The Brest attack relies mainly on Del Castillo, author of 3 goals in the championship but in search of success for a month. Ajorque, for his part, scored twice in France while Sima, not yet successful in the championship, stood out with 3 goals in the Champions League.
