Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Brest
The Bretons have suffered three consecutive defeats in Ligue 1, losing to Monaco 2-3 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 the gap to the playoff zone reduced to just two points. Additionally, the club has consistently conceded goals and has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five league matches, with exactly three goals scored against them in the last two games.
- Both teams scored in 4 of Brest's last 5 Ligue 1 matches.
- The club has not lost in 15 of their last 18 home league matches (9 wins, 6 draws).
- Brest scored first in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the French top 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 team's longest losing streak in the current season. Furthermore, Strasbourg has conceded at least two goals in each of these matches and has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six league games. The team has dropped to 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings, only ahead of Brest on goal difference.
- At least three goals were scored in 5 of Strasbourg's last 6 league matches.
- Strasbourg's winless away streak in this tournament stands at 10 matches (3 draws, 7 losses).
- The Alsatians have conceded at least two goals in their last 5 away Ligue 1 matches.
Brest vs. Strasbourg: Match Prediction
Both teams are experiencing a downturn. 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 this upcoming match. Brest, on the other hand, played a challenging 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.
We must also consider Brest's unreliable defense in recent league matches. They have conceded in five consecutive games but have also scored regularly, finding the net in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament. Strasbourg's defense is also not particularly reliable, but their attack is effective, having scored 21 goals in the current Ligue 1 season.
Therefore, I expect goals from both sides. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
