Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
After holding Lille to a 1-1 draw, Brest will look to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Monaco on Matchday 12. Brest have yet to record a win in the new domestic campaign, but they did well to find the net in each of their 11 league fixtures. Midfielder Hanga’a M’Bock will have to serve his ban against Monaco, while all Romain Del Castillo, Sebastien Cibois, and Paul Lasne miss out with injuries.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Montpellier, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Krepin Diatta and Cesc Fabregas miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Brest.
Highlighted Player (Ludovic Baal):
Ludovic Baal is a left-footed football player who was born on May 24, 1988. Baal was born in Paris, but he is a product of the Le Mans youth academy and it has to be noted that he made 12 appearances for the club in his first season with the MMArena outfit.
His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. Considering that he is a French-born player, Ludovic Baal was illegible to play for both France and the French Guayana national team.
Baal decided to represent French Guayana on international stage and he made three appearances for the team in the group stages of the 2012 Caribbean Cup. He found the net in a 4-1 win over Anguilla, with Gary Pigree scoring a hat-trick for French Guayana. Ludovic Baal currently play for Rennes as a left-back and his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit expires on June 30, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people. The Principality club boasts a turbulent history, which saw Monaco reach the highest heights of both domestic and international scene, but also get relegated to the amateur leagues at the very beginnings and to Ligue 2 in 2010-11 season.
The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
AS Monaco have had notable European results in the modern football era having been runners-up in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. One of the most successful clubs in France AS Monaco have so far won seven league titles and five Coupe de France trophies.
