Brest hosts Bordeaux in round 23 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 5th at Stade Francis-Le Blé (Brest)
Brest started the year in the championship very well. Two victories in two matches. But it beat 18th Amiens and the last Toulouse. However, Brest already had no strength for 17th Dijon and lost with a 3-0 score. In general, after these two victories, Brest climbed to 14th place and made a 9-point margin over the danger zone.

Bordeaux is slowly returning. After a 4-match losing streak, it beat Nantes in the round before last, and the last one ended in a goalless home draw with second Marseille. Having 30 points, the Girondins share 10-12th places with Strasbourg and Angers. But Bordeaux lags only four points behind the fourth place, which gives the right to play in the Europa League, and the team will certainly compete for this prize.
Bookmakers give too high coefficients for the victory of a much more qualified and experienced Bordeaux. After all, Brest isn’t a frequent guest in Ligue 1. It got to the elite division after a 6-year absence. At the same time, Brest dared to eliminate the Girondins from the cup a month and a half ago. In the first round match in Bordeaux, it managed to defend a draw. Most likely, it's time to pay the bills. Bordeaux is gaining optimal shape before the finishing spurt. It plays on equal terms with the vice-leader. Brest loses to the 17th team in the standings. And given the difference in skills, I think Brest won’t win in the upcoming match. The visitors simply must gain at least one point.
Prediction for the match: Bordeaux to win with +0.5 handicap
