Brest

WLWLLL 📉

Brest will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-0 Champions League defeat in their last game at the hands of Barcelona.

In that match, Brest managed 24% possession and 2 shots on goal with 0 on target. On the other side, Barcelona had 19 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Robert Lewandowski (10', 92') and Dani Olmo (66') scored for Barcelona.

Brest have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets lately, although they’ve also found ways to score goals themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Brest have seen their goal breached in 6 of them in addition to managing to get on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on in this game.

A look at their previous results shows us that Brest:

• haven't lost in the league to Strasbourg in their previous 4 matches.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league matches.

Strasbourg

DLWLLL 📉

Since tasting defeat last time out to Nice in Ligue 1 competition, Strasbourg and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Strasbourg had 46% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. For Strasbourg, the goalscorers were Dilane Bakwa (19') and Abakar Sylla (62' Own goal). Nice had 15 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Melvin Bard (54') was the scorer for Nice.

The numbers tell their own story, and Strasbourg have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 14 goals in all. In defence, Strasbourg can certainly do much better.

Pre-game facts show that Strasbourg:

• are winless against Brest in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• haven't been defeated by Brest in away games against them for the last 4 league matches. A very good record, indeed.
• are without a win away from home in their last 10 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.

📰 Team News: Brest

Bradley Locko (Achilles tendon rupture) and Pierre Lees-Melou (Peroneus tendon injury) won’t be playing for Brest boss Éric Roy.

We are thinking that Les Ty' Zefs could employ a 4-3-3 system this time, beginning the first half with Marco Bizot, Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Julien Le Cardinal, Massadio Haidara, Mahdi Camara, Edimilson Fernandes, Hugo Magnetti, Romain Del Castillo, Ludovic Ajorque and Abdallah Sima.

📰 Team News: Strasbourg

Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Jérémy Sebas (Back injury), Moïse Sahi Dion (Knee injury), Emanuel Emegha (Knee injury) and Alaa Bellaarouch (Pubalgia) miss out here.

We reckon that Le Racing could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-3 system, starting the game with Djordje Petrovic, Guela Doue, Saidou Sow, Mamadou Sarr, Dilane Bakwa, Andrey Santos, Junior Mwanga, Diego Moreira, Habib Diarra, Sekou Mara and Sebastian Nanasi.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Strasbourg will have a tough ask to see themselves scoring against this Brest side who we think should end up scoring and staying ahead.

We’re therefore predicting a narrow 1-0 winning score for Brest when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be an interesting one.
