Stade Brest vs AS Monaco Prediction: Monaco won't slow down

AS Monaco continue their title charge with a trip to Stade Francis-Le Ble to face Stade Brest. Monaco have been in extraordinary form in the Ligue 1 and they are proving their title credentials. They are currently 2 points away from 2nd place Marseille and 1 point above 3rd place Lens. So Marseille have only one option here and that is to grab all 3 points. Brest are also in dire need of 3 points or risk dropping closer to the relegation zone

Stade Brest

Brest are within 2 points from the relegation zone teams and they will like to stay off the zone as much as possible. Stade Brest are currently 15th on the table, having 20 points from 4 wins, 8 draws and 11 loses in 23 matches. And while playing at home, Stade Brest have 2 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. 

Brest lost 3-0 in their last match against Montpellier. In their last 5 matches, they had 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. So Brest have no wins in 3 matches and have seen was than 4.5 cards in ⅞ matches. 

A win here would see Brest close the gap to 15th place Montpellier and if they lose, they could drop down to 18th place should the teams below pick up a win.
