Brest - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Brest on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.25.

Brest had a difficult trip in the last round of the Ligue 1. Despite being the 2.91 underdogs, they kept their rivals on their toes for the first 45 minutes. However, things went south in the second period when they went a goal behind and recorded a Le Havre defeat.

The away team’s previous game ended inconclusively with a 3:3 draw. They were playing away at Paris, and most bookies saw them as slight underdogs. Surprisingly enough, Olympique Lyonnais even managed to pull ahead in the first half, but the score was eventually equalised.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Olympique Lyonnais’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

With just 2 points between them and the relegation zone, Brest can’t be too happy with how the season started. To make matters worse, earning new points in this match is highly unlikely.

Olympique Lyonnais are sitting at number 5th on the current Ligue 1 standings, which is one of the Champions League qualifying spots. Of course, the season is only just beginning, so a win against a challenging opponent like Brest will mean a lot in the grand scheme of things.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.79 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
