Brest vs Reims Predictions

• Brest have won six of their last 10 at home, losing just once.
• Reims are winless in five and have lost their last three.
• Brest have conceded just 13 goals in 16 home games.

Brest looking for top three boost

Brest have managed just four points from their last four games but they can ensure they keep hold of third spot by seeing off out-of-sorts Reims on Friday.

Brest are just two points clear of fourth placed Lille in the battle for automatic Champions League qualification after their dip in form.

However, Reims look to have downed tools as they meander towards a mid-table finish and the visitors look there for the taking.

Brest can make home advantage count

Brest’s strength has been their impressive home form and they have just one defeat in their last 12 at this venue across all competitions, with that loss coming at the hands of Monaco. They have won six of their last 10 in front of their own fans and should have too much for Reims, who have lost their last three games.

The hosts won the reverse fixture 2-1 but can win without conceding here and a 2-0 home victory appeals, as they have seven shut-outs in their last 10 home games and have only conceded 13 Ligue 1 goals in 16 games at the Francis-Le Blé.

Romain Del Castillo is Brest’s top league scorer this term with eight goals and he can add to his haul on Friday. Del Castillo has gone three games without scoring but he put in a strong display regardless against Nantes last time out and can get back among the goals against Reims.
