Prediction: 2-0
Brest
Monaco take on Brest at their Stade Louis II in the opening match of Ligue 1 round 12. Les Rouges et Blancs defeated Strasbourg 3-1 before the international break, with the team quickly bouncing back from a shocking loss to Angers and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Striker Breel Embolo has overcome his minor injury, while midfielder Lamine Camara serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Montpellier, but they will have a big fish to fry in Friday's game. As Brest are on a five-game losing run at Stade Louis II, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Monte Carlo. In their last meeting at the venue Monaco defeated Brest 2-0.
