When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Brest have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 16 games. When Brest hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Troyes, Angers SCO, Brest, Ajaccio, Strasbourg and Nantes), they have won 3 of 5 matches! It’s been three wins in a row for Brest here at Stade Francis-Le Ble, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

In their previous game, the manager Roy led his Brest to a defeat away at Lorient. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Francis-Le Ble. Up until that fixture this club had gone six consecutive league matches without losing. Defender Lala got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.8/10. Lala hit two key passes and won 8 of 9 duels.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
