Brest take on the visitors Reims in the round 33 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, April 10th at Stade Francis-Le Blé (Brest).
Brest - the main revelation of the French Ligue 1 this season. With just two rounds to go, the pirates still have a chance at the silver medals. However, to secure them, they need to win both of their remaining matches and hope that Monaco loses one of theirs. But holding onto the third position in the table, and with it the bronze and a place in the Champions League group stage, Brest still needs to make an effort, as they are only two points ahead of Lille, who are trailing behind. It's all in the hands of Eric Ru'a's team now - win the remaining matches, and the Dogs won't catch up. I think in the next round, the pirates won't drop points at home in the battle against Reims.

Reims are not motivated for the remainder of the season and are essentially just finishing the championship. Red and whites have achieved the minimum goal - securing their place in Ligue 1. But the players are unlikely to be completely satisfied with themselves, as they are currently only in 12th place, approaching this round with a streak of three consecutive losses: to Montpellier (1-2), Strasbourg (1-3), and Clermont (1-4). They score but concede a lot. An ideal opponent for Brest, who recently enjoys getting involved in shootouts. Like, for example, against Rennes (5-4) or Metz (4-3). In the first round of this season, Reims lost to the pirates 1-2.
Unlike the visitors, the pirates are highly motivated for the remainder of the season. Victory in this match is as crucial to Brest as air. And I believe that in this encounter, the contenders for the medals and a place in the Champions League zone will handle the mid-table team on their home turf. Lately, Eric Ru'a's team has been playing entertaining football in terms of goals, much like Reims. So I think the spectators will witness more than two productive attacks, and Brest alone will surpass the over 1.5 total goals. As for the final score - whether it's a modest 2-0 or something like the usual 4-3 - I don't really care.
Prediction for the match: Brest to win and Over 1.5 score goals.
