With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Brest fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Angers SCO.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Brest form and stats

Brest have collected 24 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 6-6-1.

Brest shared the glory with Nice in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Saint-Étienne.

Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Nice last time out, but a goal from Dante completed a comeback to a draw result for Brest.

This is expected to be a close game, with Brest perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brest as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Brest has won seven of these, drawn five and lost zero.

A decent goal production from Brest in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. From these home matches, Brest have conceded only 10 goals.

Angers SCO form and stats

There's been little loot from Angers SCO's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Ligue 1. Angers SCO only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. Angers SCO seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Stéphane Bahoken scored in Angers SCO's previous match, the home game against Montpellier that ended 1-0. Prior to that match, the Angers SCO manager S. Moulin faced defeat when travelling to Nîmes and losing 0-1.

Stéphane Bahoken came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Montpellier last time out, making the manager S. Moulin feel like a tactical genius.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Angers SCO in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Angers SCO, five draws and five defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Angers SCO as they have only managed to score 7 times from 12 away games in the league. Angers SCO have conceded 20 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Angers SCO - Brest 0-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Brest won seven games, two matches ended with a draw and Angers SCO has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
