Monaco v Brest: European push meets top-half momentum | OneFootball

Monaco host Brest in Ligue 1 at Stade Louis II on Saturday, 14 March 2026, with seventh facing ninth and both eyeing a springboard towards European places.

Monaco have won the last two home league meetings without conceding, but Brest arrive in good shape after a strong run.

Les Rouge et Blanc have real momentum in the league, including a 3-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain. The visitors are unbeaten in five with four victories, most recently beating Le Havre 2-0.

Team news could matter. Les Rouge et Blanc are without Lukas Hradecky, Takumi Minamino, Caio Henrique, Krépin Diatta, Mohammed Salisu, Vanderson and Kassoum Ouattara. Brest list Mama Baldé as injured.

On the pitch, Les Rouge et Blanc average 53% possession with 83.82% passing accuracy and have scored 43 league goals, 37 from inside the box. Aleksandr Golovin has five Ligue 1 assists, while Folarin Balogun and Maghnes Akliouche add finishing threat. Brest are well organised, with nine clean sheets and 42% average possession. Their crossing is a route to goal, with 26.34% open-play cross accuracy and strong aerial numbers, and forwards Romain Del Castillo (eight league goals) and Ludovic Ajorque (seven) carry the punch. Ajorque also leads the league assists chart with seven.

In the table, Monaco sit on 40 points and a win would move them to 43 and could pull them closer to the European places. Brest are on 36, and victory would take them to 39 and strengthen their top half standing.
