Stade Brestois will host Monaco at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign. The home side have found good form in recent games after a different run of form in February and now sit eighth in the table with 40 points as they continue their hunt for consecutive European appearances.
They picked up a 4-2 win away at Toulouse last time out, with four different players getting on the scoresheet for Les Pirates, including 19-year-old Justin Bourgault, who netted a stunning opener to register his maiden goal in the top flight.
Monaco have enjoyed a strong season and are pushing for back-to-back appearances in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Nice last time out, heading into the break a goal down before goals from attacking duo Mika Biereth and Breel Embolo in the second half helped secure maximum points for Adolf Hutter’s men.
The visitors sit second in the table with 50 points and will be looking to add to that tally when they play on Saturday.
