Strasbourg vs Brest Predictions

• Brest have just one defeat in their last 14 games, a cup loss at PSG.
• Strasbourg are winless in five in Ligue 1 and have lost their last three.
• Brest won the corresponding fixture 1-0 in March last season.

Brest can add to Strasbourg struggles

Brest sit second in the Ligue 1 table and they can make sure they remain best of the rest after the latest round of fixtures is complete with a win at out-of-sorts Strasbourg on Saturday.

The visitors have lost just one of their last 14 games and that was a cup defeat at PSG. Brest overcame Marseille 1-0 at home and they should have too much for a Strasbourg side who are winless in five league games and have lost their last three.

Strasbourg made a strong start to the season but then fizzled out and they now sit 10th, just three points clear of the relegation places. Le Racing have managed four home wins this season and only one of those has come against a side currently above them in the table, so they may find in-form Brest too strong.

Les Pirates won 1-0 at the Stade de la Meinau last season in March and a repeat of that scoreline appeals here. The visitors’ success is built on a rock-solid defence as they have eight clean sheets in their last 11 games across all competitions, scoring just 13 goals in 11 games away from home.
