Brest lost their most recent home match, 0-1 in clash with Red Star. Despite that defeat, Brest still lead in the league with 38 points gained and 27-22 goal difference. The visiting side gained 19 points in 10 matches played on the road, recording only one away defeat in these matches and winning two previous voyages to Nimes, 2-1, and Orleans, 1-0.
Brest are successful in matches with Valenciennes recently and took 3-2 win this autumn. However, we should expect the hosts to offer a battle to league leaders and battle at least for a draw. Valenciennes look strong in recent matches and it would be reasonable to pick them.
Prediction for the match: Valenciennes to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
