Each team’s starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Brest
The Bretons suffered their third consecutive defeat in Ligue 1, losing 2-3 to Monaco in the last round. Notably, the last time the team lost three consecutive league matches was in November 2023, after which they went on a 13-match unbeaten run in the tournament. This poor run has dropped Brest to 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings, with their gap to the relegation playoff zone reduced to just two points. Additionally, the club has been unable to keep a clean sheet in five consecutive league matches, conceding exactly three goals in their last two games.
- Both teams scored in 4 of Brest's last 5 Ligue 1 matches.
- At home, the club has avoided defeat in 15 of their last 18 league matches (9 wins, 6 draws).
- Brest scored first in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the top French division.
Strasbourg
The Alsatians have also lost three consecutive matches in Ligue 1, falling to Saint-Etienne (0-2), Monaco (1-3), and Nice (1-2). This is the longest losing streak for the club this season. During this stretch, Strasbourg has conceded at least twice and has been unable to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive league matches. The team has dropped to 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings, ahead of Brest only on additional criteria.
- At least 3 goals were scored in 5 of Strasbourg's last 6 league matches.
- Strasbourg's winless away streak in this tournament is 10 matches (3 draws, 7 losses).
- The Alsatians have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 5 away Ligue 1 matches.
Brest vs. Strasbourg: Match Prediction
Both teams are experiencing a slump. However, the visitors have a slight advantage in terms of physical condition. They are not competing on two fronts, unlike the Bretons. Moreover, they had a full week to prepare for the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Brest played a tough away match against Barcelona in the Champions League, losing 0-3. It is uncertain whether the hosts will fully recover in time for the game against Strasbourg.
Not to be overlooked is Brest's unreliable defense in recent league matches. They have conceded in five consecutive games but have also regularly scored, finding the net in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament. Strasbourg also struggles defensively, but their attack is in good shape, having scored 21 times in the current Ligue 1 season.
Therefore, I expect goals from both sides, my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
