Strasbourg form and stats

With {3 Ligue 1 wins}, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Strasbourg are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Strasbourg's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Reims (placed 12th). Before that, Strasbourg played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Dijon.

Strasbourg could not believe their lack of luck in the Reims match, as they hit the posts three times in the 0-1 defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Strasbourg as they are travelling to their away game against Olympique Lyonnais in the Ligue 1. That match is three days after this one.

The Strasbourg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Strasbourg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Brest form and stats

There's been little loot from Brest's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the Ligue 1. Brest only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. With the Brest losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on O. Dall’Oglio, the Brest manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Brest might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Metz proved too strong as Brest slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Francis-Le Blé. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Reims wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Brest, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

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

Brest are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 11 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Brest have conceded 21 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
