Brest-St Etienne

Brest will host St Etienne in a match that sees both teams coming into it on the back of mixed recent form. Looking at their head-to-head history, Brest appears to have had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning three of their last five meetings. In their most recent clash, St Etienne managed to secure a win at home, but prior results favor Brest when they play on their home turf.

Brest’s recent form isn’t particularly encouraging, with just one draw and four losses in their last five matches. They’ve struggled both offensively and defensively, stalling in front of goal and conceding multiple goals per match. Their last home game resulted in a heavy defeat to Marseille, where they managed to score just one goal against five.

St Etienne, on the other hand, have shown some resilience despite their own inconsistent run. They managed a high-scoring win over Holstein Kiel away from home but then fell short in tighter matches against Le Havre and Monaco. They appear slightly better on the road, evidenced by their recent performances.

Given that both teams have been poor defensively, a BTTS (Both Teams To Score) seems likely. Brest’s home advantage might help them edge closer to victory, although the match could be a closely contested one. Considering their scoring issues and defensive lapses, we might see a match with over 2.5 goals scored.
