It's early days in the Ligue 1 and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

Bordeaux and Brest should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Bordeaux form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Bordeaux's two home games in the Ligue 1 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique.

The Bordeaux supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Metz in Ligue 1 and win 2-0. Before that, Bordeaux played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Olympique Lyonnais.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Bordeaux's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played nine games, won 5 matches, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bordeaux as they are travelling to their away game against Amiens SC in the Ligue 1. That match is four days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Bordeaux's 2 home games: 3 goals, 1 conceded.

Brest form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Ligue 1 for Brest with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Brest's last game was the home draw against Rennes (0-0). A 0-3 defeat away at Nîmes before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Brest when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.

After this away game Brest return home for a Ligue 1 game against Olympique Lyonnais. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Brest has scored 1 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Bordeaux, 2 draws and 2 wins for Brest. Over 2,5 goals: 1 time; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
