Strasbourg vs. Brest: Match Prediction
At home, Strasbourg feels very confident, having already secured six victories in the current championship. Their frequent wins are often aided by an active attacking play: in only one of their ten home games this Ligue 1 season did the club fail to score. However, defensively, the team is not always flawless: in their last seven home league matches, Liam Rosenior's side managed to keep a clean sheet only twice.
Brest is a bold and persistent team that favors attacking football even away from home. The club concedes a lot but also scores regularly: in their last seven away Ligue 1 matches, Eric Roy's side failed to score only once, and in 9 of their last 11 away league encounters, the team couldn't keep a clean sheet.
I expect both opponents to showcase their attacking prowess and play a high-scoring game. My prediction: Both Teams to Score – Yes
