AS Monaco, solid runner-up in the championship, hosts Stade Brestois this weekend for the 12th day of Ligue 1. The bookmakers see Adi Hütter's men as wide favorites, with an average victory odds of 1, 55 against 5.50 for the Bretons.
AS Monaco quite widely favored
A match which should turn to the advantage of the Monegasques according to the operators, with a victory by one or two goals as the preferred scenario. Scores of 1-0 and 2-0 appear to be the most likely, rated at 6.00 and 6.40 respectively. A wider success with a score of 3-0 cannot be ruled out (8.60).
A draw is considered less likely (4.10), although the score of 1-1 remains a significant possibility with odds of 6.30. A Brest surprise on the Rock seems unlikely for the bookmakers, as evidenced by the odds of 7.50 for a narrow 0-1 victory for Eric Roy's men.
Ajorque and Camara the best triggers at Stade Brestois
On the scorer side, the Monegasque attackers are logically favorites to open their scoreboard. Folarin Balogun is the first choice with a rating of 2.16, closely followed by Breel Embolo (2.30) and Lucas Michal (2.63). Attacking midfielders Takumi Minamino (2.86) and Aleksandr Golovin (3.33) are also well placed in the hierarchy of probable scorers.
On the Brest side, the bookmakers see Lamine Camara (4.30) and Ludovic Ajorque (4.60) as the main threats to the Monegasque defense. Romain Del Castillo, despite his excellent start to the season, is only rated at 5.30. In summary, the operators anticipate a match controlled by AS Monaco, with a score probably contained but sufficient to consolidate its place on the Ligue 1 podium.
