Brest vs Monaco Match Overview – 5.12.2025

Just one week after their impressive win against PSG at the Stade Louis II, Monaco pays a visit to Brest in a fixture from the 15th round of Ligue 1. Les Monegasques are full of confidence after beating Luis Enrique’s machine, but this is a tricky one – Brest won their last two games in the league.

Thanks to their win against Les Parisiens, Monaco are now 7th in the Ligue 1 standings with 23 points – just one point behind Olympique Lyonnais and Top 6. This way Sebastien Pocognoli’s team stopped a negative run of three consecutive losses in the league.

Meanwhile Brest are also confident after winning their last two matches in the league – against Metz and Strasbourg. Thanks to that they are now 11th in the table with 16 points.

Brest News & Analysis

Last weekend Brest had to travel to face Strasbourg, but they managed to enjoy a solid 2-1 win away from home. Eric Roy’s team was a goal behind after just 11 minutes of playing, but it didn’t stop the boys from winning. Del Castillo equalised while Hugo Magnetti secured the win with a late strike.

Romain Del Castillo is a player in form in Brest’s squad right now. The 29-years old winger was the best player on the pitch against Strasbourg, so now he has another chance to impress.

But against Monaco, Brest’s defence must be on top of their game. It means that players like Chardonnet and Diaz must perform at the highest levels possible.

Monaco News & Analysis

Monaco don’t have any other option, but to start building on that win against PSG. The team’s main goal is to reach the Champions League again. The negative run of three consecutive losses was not the best experience for the club, but now Les Monegasques are ready to show their worth once again.

Monaco’s manager Sebastien Pocognoli has to make some decisions regarding the starting eleven against Brest. The team captain Thilo Kehrer is missing the game because of suspension, but Mika Biereth could return in action upfront. Ansu Fati is always an option for Monaco as well, but the most interesting case is Paul Pogba. The legendary midfielder returned in action after a 2-years suspension and he looks ready to start some games.

The American international Folarin Balogun is doubtful for the next game. The striker is currently injured and it’s not clear if he will be in the squad on Friday night.
