A cursory peek at the Ligue 1 table point to an upper hand to Rennes when they go to Brest. Nevertheless; let's wait for the game before we award the win!

It's back home for Brest, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Olympique Marseille away with the result 2-1. Camara and Magnetti found the net in that victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Roy when Camara scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute. Midfielder Melou was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.84 (out of ten) in that game. Melou signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and had 36 successful passes (of 40 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Clermont in a game that was won 2-1.
