Betting on Brest
Brest faces mounting pressure as they hover near salvation in the Ligue 1 standings. With four teams facing relegation this season, Brest is just one point and two places above the 17th place, making them vulnerable to dropping into the red zone with each passing week.
However, Les Pirates have recently gained points in their recent games, with three draws and a win against Angers in their last four Ligue 1 matches. Notably, the draws were against strong clubs like Lyon, Lille, and Toulouse, indicating that they won’t be an easy opponent in their upcoming match.
Possible Brest lineup (4-3-3): Marco Bizot; Kenny Lala, Achraf Dari, Christophe Hérelle, Jean-Kévin Duverne; Pierre Lees-Melou, Haris Belkebla, Mahdi Camara; Franck Honorat, Steve Mounié, Jérémy Le Douaron.
Betting on RC Lens
Lens spent several years in the second division and returned to the French top flight recently, and did so in remarkable fashion by saving themselves by a wide margin from relegation in their first season, so much so that they almost qualified for European competitions. Meanwhile, this campaign they have taken things a level further and find themselves in third place in the table, although six points separate them from the top.
However, Les Sang et Or come into this game having failed to pick up points in their last two league games, with the last being a 1-0 loss to Nice which halted a 12-game unbeaten streak. This game on the road against a team in need of points could pose a threat despite the difference between the two clubs.
Possible Lens Lineup (3-4-1-2): Brice Samba; Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina; Przemyslaw Frankowski, Jean Onana, Seko Fofana, Deiver Machado; Adrien Thomasson; Loïs Openda, Florian Sotoca.
JefeBet Prediction
The difference in the table might suggest that Lens should take a comfortable win, but we don’t think that will be the case as Brest have been performing well lately and will offer plenty of resistance.
The visiting team faces a tough challenge in this trip to northern France, with Lens having conceded goals in six of their ten away league games, including the last two.
In addition, Brest have scored an incredible eight goals in their last four home league games, and have not been held scoreless on the last seven occasions they have hosted Lens; however, they have also allowed goals in five of those matches.
Prediction: Both teams score (BRE 1 – LEN 1)
