It looks like the top of the Ligue 1 scoreboard won’t be changing any time soon. In the meantime, we can focus on the teams at the bottom, since the fight to avoid relegation is getting pretty intense.
Up until now, there are four teams in the red zone, but on matchday 26 one of them could reach a safe spot and give way to another team to the danger zone. The clash between Estrasburgo vs Brest promises to be really intense, because two rivals who are two points apart and could reverse positions face each other.
Estrasburgo has been gathering important points, but it’s not enough to let their guard down. Brest, on the contrary, have been suffering for several days and needs a breath of fresh air as soon as possible.
We at JefeBet bring you the Strasbourg vs Brest betting preview, odds, prediction, and all the relevant information about each team ahead of their upcoming match.

Betting on Estrasburgo
Estrasburgo shared points in their most recent match with a 1-1 draw against Clermont, but despite not having won all three points, they are coming into this match without losing their last two matches. However, they have a lot at stake in this match, since failure to win could push them into the relegation zone.
They currently have four wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, which amounts to a total of 22 points. Their recent home games have given them hope, since they have now won two consecutive home games after losing 11 games, ending a nine-month winless streak at their home stadium.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Matz Sels; Ismael Doukoure, Alexander Djiku, Maxime Le Marchand; Frédéric Guilbert, Morgan Sanson, Ibrahima Sissoko, Dimitri Liénard, Eduard Sobol; Kévin Gameiro, Habib Diallo.
Betting on Brest
This match is key for Brest because they can get out of the relegation places if they manage to win. However, they have three consecutive defeats and a five-game winless streak in Ligue 1. Something to keep in mind regarding their three defeats is that they all met the over 2.5.
They scored four wins, eight draws and 13 defeats, winning only 16% of the 25 matches played so far. Two of those victories were away wins, but it has been four months since the last one. Apart from their current record, their away games record against Estrasburgo is not really helpful, since they have not won any of the six matches played in all categories, with two draws and four defeats.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Marco Bizot; Noah Fadiga, Achraf Dari, Lilian Brassier, Bradley Locko; Pierre Lees Melou; Félix Lemaréchal, Mahdi Camara, Hugo Magnetti, Jérémy Le Douaron; Tairyk Arconte.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams have performed poorly, but the two unbeaten games and home advantage may give Estrasburgo a slight advantage. And while a home win is feasible, it may not be by a large score.
Prediction: Strasbourg wins by 2-0
