At a time when Monaco are currently occupying 10th position in Ligue 1, head coach Nico Kovac will want to prioritise making quick progress up the standings.

Achieving that target could be helped by collecting a third win in Group B, a result which should be enough to earn a spot in the Europa League knockout stages.

On the back of just one defeat from nine games in all competitions, it had appeared that Monaco had turned a corner ahead of the weekend's clash with Brest.

However, the hosts, who were winless in 11 matches, were good value for their 2-0 triumph, and Kovac knows that progress on the continent might be required to keep him in a job.

Top goalscorer Wissam Ben Yedder has lost his way in the final third, the 32-year-old failing to score in his last four appearances.

当摩纳哥目前在法甲排名第十时，主教练科瓦奇将会优先考虑快速提升排名。

要实现这一目标，B组的第三场胜利可能会有所帮助，这个结果应该足以让他们在欧罗巴联赛的淘汰赛阶段获得一席之地。

在九场比赛中仅输了一场后，摩纳哥似乎在周末与布雷斯特的比赛前出现了转机。

然而，东道主在11场比赛中都没有取胜，他们2-0的胜利是值得的，科瓦奇知道，要想保住自己的工作，可能需要在非洲大陆取得进步。

最佳射手维萨姆·本·耶德在最后三分之一决赛中迷失了方向，这位32岁的球员最近四次出场都没有进球。
