Prediction: 2-2
Monaco
Stade Francis-Le Ble will be the centre of attention when Brest and Monaco lock horns in the Ligue 1 round 28. Les Pirates have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Angers and Toulouse, while sharing the spoils with Reims and they are surely capable of matching Monaco in front of home fans. Fit-again forward Romain Del Castillo is pushing for a start, while both Hugo Magnetti and Massadio Haidara are back from suspension.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Angers and Nice. Monaco are eyeing a spot in the Champions League, but beating the in-form hosts at Stade Francis-Le Ble is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. Defender Soungoutou Magassa remains in the recovery room, but the 21-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
