Monaco and Brest meet at the Stade Louis II in a match on matchday 11 of Ligue 1. The record of head-to-head meetings played at this stadium favors the home side, who have won 4 of the last 4 matches. In fact, in the last meeting at this stadium, for Ligue 1, on 01-01-2023, Monaco won (1-0). Aleksandr Golovin (54′ ) scored the only goal of the game. The home factor could play a decisive role in this match, as Brest have shown differences in performance in their home and away games.
The home side are currently in 3rd place with 20 points after 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. In their penultimate match, they won 2-1 at home to Metz. In their last match, they lost away to LOSC Lille (2-0). This is a team that maintains its performance when playing away from home, as in the last 30 games it has recorded 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats as a visitor; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats at home. In their last 5 home games in the league, Monaco have won 4 and lost 1, taking 12 points out of a possible 15. Their defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 games, but their attack has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 8 of their last 10 games in this competition. In their home games there is a tendency for goals, as 15 of their last 21 games have ended with more than 2.5 goals. In 10 games in this competition, they’ve conceded the first goal 7 times but have managed to turn the game around 3 times. There’s been 1 period of note in their last 6 home games in all competitions: they’ve scored 4 of their 11 goals between the hour mark (46′-60′).
Monaco go into this game demotivated after a 2-0 defeat away to Lille. Unlike their opponents in this game, the home side will have to play a 4-4-2 tactical system, with the aim of using a more attacking style of play, progressing up the field using short passes. In this design, the two players who will occupy more advanced areas are Wissan Ben Yedder and Folarin Balogun. Coach Adi Hutter won’t be able to count on Breel Embolo, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Vanderson, Caio Henrique, Soungoutou Magassa, Guillermo Maripán and Mohammed Salisu because they are currently out with medical problems.
After 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats, the away team is in 6th place with 15 points. In their last match, they lost 2-3 at home to Paris Saint Germain, after losing 1-0 away to LOSC Lille in their previous match. This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when they play with the support of their fans, as in their last 30 games they have 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats as visitors, with a total of 13 goals scored and 16 conceded. At home, they’ve won 9, drawn 3 and lost 3, with a total of 23 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the league, Brest have taken 7 points out of a possible 15, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 away games. The team has allowed goals to their opponents in 7 of their last 10 games in this competition, so they haven’t been very strong defensively. This is a team that rarely scores first: they’ve only opened the scoring in 2 of their last 10 Ligue 1 games, of those 2 they went into half-time ahead in 1 and won at the end of the 90′ in all of them. In 10 Ligue 1 games, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but managed to turn the game around 2 times.
Brest come into this match demotivated after a 2-3 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The away side usually play in a 4-3-3 formation, favoring a faster style of play, with the three most advanced players usually being Steve Mounié, Jérémy Le Douaron and Romain Del Castillo. It should be noted that the man who will have the task of guiding his team’s attacking play is Frenchman Hugo Magnetti. One of the away team’s main faults is the ineffective way they defend the opposition’s offensive line. Coach Éric Roy should be very happy to have all the pieces fit for this battle.
