Monaco - Brest predictions

Monaco are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Brest winning, though.

With a price of 6.39 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Brest will likely not fare well against Monaco. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The 1:3 away win Monaco secured in the last round is good news for their supporters, but their performance was far from perfect. Specifically, their opponents Strasbourg were leading at the end of the first half.

Brest’s confidence must be shaken after what happened in the last round. They may have been at home a field disadvantage at Montpellier, but no one saw the painful 3:1 loss – not even after the first half went downhill for them.

The attacking players for the home side left a solid impression by scoring 5 times over their latest 3 away games. The added home-field advantage they’ll have this time around makes them even more dangerous.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Brest. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

If they stay in their current table spot, the home team will be looking at a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty more action left in the season, though, and the leading spot looks well within grasp considering the favourable matchup they’re going into.

This upcoming game will be an uphill battle for home, so they’ll probably want to use the rest of the season to climb up from their current table position at 12th. After all, we’re still only at round 12, so they’ll probably have better opportunities to earn some points.

After the clashes we saw last season, there’s no doubt as to why the hosts are the favourites in this showdown. They clashed with Brest several times and recorded multiple victories. More interestingly, these victories were quite decisive and each was won a comfortable goal difference.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
