Monaco hosts Brest this Friday evening (7 p.m.) for the 12th day of Ligue 1. Here is everything you need to know about this meeting.
After the international break and before a very important meeting in the Champions League (against FC Barcelona on Tuesday for SB29 and against Benfica on Wednesday for ASM), Monaco and Brest will challenge each other this Friday evening. Currently runner-up to PSG, the Principality club will try to consolidate its 2nd place, while Eric Roy's players will seek to move away from the red zone, having suffered two defeats in a row in L1.
The stats you need to know (with Opta)
Monaco have won each of their last 5 matches against Brest in Ligue 1, more than in the previous 9 (4 wins, 1 draw, 4 defeats).
Monaco have won 75% of their home games against Brest in Ligue 1 (12 out of 16), posting a higher success ratio only against Bastia (79%, with 23 out of 29) among opponents hosted at least 10 times in the elite.
Monaco have conceded just 8 goals in Ligue 1 2024-25, their lowest total and their co-lowest total after 11 games in an L1 season in the 21st century with 2013-14.
Brest have lost 6 matches in Ligue 1 this season (4 wins, 1 draw) and could already equal their total defeats from last season (7 for 17 wins and 10 draws).
Monaco remained silent in their last two home games in Ligue 1 (0-0 against Lille and 0-1 against Angers), but have not gone 3 home games without scoring in the elite since September – October 2010 (3 ).

Author of his 2nd double in Ligue 1 during his last match against Strasbourg (3-1 success), Eliesse Ben Seghir has never scored in 2 consecutive matches in the elite.
