Monaco take on the visitors Brest in the round 37 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, May 14th at Stade Louis II (Monaco)
The problem for the Clément team is that having won eight matches in a row in the First League and getting close to the second line, the hosts can suddenly stumble, as, for example, it was in the duel with Braga in the Europa League. The bookmakers set the odds for the Monaco victory very low, out of five victories, only three were won with a difference of more than one goal. Yes, the team can win a ticket to the Champions League even to the main stage, but the opponents are not some outsider of the championship, but quite combat-ready Brest, who beat Monegasques in the reverse fixture with a score 2-0.

The Pirates are still battling in the end of the season. With such a coach, this is a priori impossible to do. In the last round, the opponent was Strasbourg, who battles for a place in European cups, and the they were able to win only with a minimum score of 1-0. Motivated Lyon had beat Brest in one of the last home matches. The visiotrs lost only twice with a difference of more than two goals during the season, in three last rounds they conceded only one goal. Compared to the last season, there has been progress in the team's actions, Franck Honora and several other good players have revealed themselves. Perhaps next season the visitors will try to compete for European competition.
Clement's team is a natural favorite of the confrontation, but a negative handicap of at least two goals seems to me too huge. I would not rule out the loss of Monaco points. Since February, Brest has lost two away matches, but has not lost them devastatingly. The hosts are in great shape, but their wins are by many goals, they just need to score three points and that's it. I suppose that the Monegasques will certainly not be able to win with a devastating score and the pirates will spoil the nerves of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Brest to win with +2.0 handicap.
