Stade Brestois 29 – Monaco

Stade Brestois 29 host Monaco in what promises to be a clash of contrasting fortunes. Brest sit seventh in the table with five points from four games – a win, two draws and a loss, and an even goal‑for/against tally of six. Monaco, meanwhile, sit second, having amassed ten points after three victories and a draw, and they boast a comfortable +4 goal difference, scoring six and conceding only two. The two sides have already met twice this season, each taking a point from the other, so the encounter could be decisive for Brest’s push up the table and Monaco’s bid to close the gap at the summit.
