Brest take on the visitors Lyon in the round 16 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 28th at Stade Francis-Le Blé (Brest).
The Pirates definitely cannot include themselves among the local football giants. For a long time, nothing was really heard about this team, but in 2019, having taken "small silver" in the 2nd division, they were able to return to the elite one. It cannot be said that the team was able to seriously surprise them with something. But, for example, last season they managed to finish a fairly high 11th place. This season Brest have six defeats, two draws and two wins in the last 10 matches of the season. Even in the friendly meetings before the restart of the championship, the team of Michel der Zakarian lost two out of two meetings. So the prospects for the home team in the foreseeable future are rather vague. It is worth recognizing that Brest concedes quite a lot, but rarely leaves the field without scoring goals. In 6 of the last 9 matches, der Zakarian's wards have broken through the bet "both teams will score - yes."

The club had put their tryst in Peter Bos not so long ago - and with him, instead of rising last season, there was, on the contrary, a decline, to 8th position. The Dutchman was even forgiven for this, but in the new championship, after a great start, the team suffered a setback. As a result of October, Laurent Blanc appeared as head coach. With him it turned out to add almost immediately, even win against Montpellier and Lille. Lyon gained maximum playing practice before the restart of the season. Laurent Blanc needed to run ideas, watch players. An experienced coach understands that Lyon needs to score a lot more points in the second part of the championship. However, out of five friendly matches, his team won only two. It is worth noting that in 5 of the last 6 matches with the participation of Lyon, a bet on the exchange of goals by both sides happened.
Lyon have won only two of their last seven matches against Brest. In Brest, the favorites won only once in six previous voyages. But in all six matches, without exception, the teams broke through the bet on the exchange of goals. Albeit not entirely clear, but the favorite of the match in this pair is Lyon. The success of the visitors is quoted at 2.00 with 3.82 for a draw and 3.78 for the success of the home team. Lyon have not yet shown that they are ready to run in such matches during the current season. And a trip to Brest is a traditional test for this club.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
