📊 Form Guide

ESTAC

LLLLDL 📉

ESTAC won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of FC Lorient.

In that game, ESTAC had 48% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Lorient got 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Bamba Dieng (8') and Stéphane Diarra (92') scored for FC Lorient.

It has not been often in recent games where ESTAC haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that ESTAC have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 14 goals along the way. We will see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Taking a look at their past results, ESTAC:

• have left without a victory over Brest in their last 5 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 11 matches in the league. No joy for the home fans.

Brest

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 action, Brest and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Brest had 39% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Brest was Franck Honorat (44'). Paris Saint-Germain had 17 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Carlos Soler (37') and Kylian Mbappé (91') scored for Paris Saint-Germain.

The stats tell the story, and Brest have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals overall. In defence, Brest seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.

Going into this one, Brest have not been beaten by ESTAC when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.

🗞️ Team News: ESTAC

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the ESTAC gaffer Patrick Kisnorbo to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Florian Tardieu (Achilles tendon problems) is sidelined.

We are thinking that ESTAC will probably opt for a 3-2-4-1 system for this game featuring Gauthier Gallon, Erik Palmer-Brown, Adil Rami, Yoann Salmier, Thierno Balde, Abdu, Rony Lopes, Rominigue Kouame, Xavier Chavalerin, Renaud Ripart and Mama Balde.

📋 Team News: Brest

Thanks to a completely healthy squad to choose from, the Brest boss Éric Roy has no fitness worries at all ahead of this match.

There’s a good chance that Les Ty' Zefs will likely play in a 4-3-3 lineup using Marco Bizot, Noah Fadiga, Achraf Dari, Lilian Brassier, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Hugo Magnetti, Pierre Lees-Melou, Mahdi Camara, Franck Honorat, Steve Mounie and Romain Del Castillo.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, Brest and ESTAC might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.

We’re therefore predicting a close game with a 0-0 score when the referee blows the final whistle.
