Brest vs Angers Prediction

Stade Brest come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Olympique Lyonnais as they reel from cup exits. They were beaten by ten goals to nil on aggregate against Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout playoff round of the UEFA Champions League as well as suffering a defeat to Ligue 2 side Dunkerque in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France last week. They now face an Angers side that were also knocked out of the cup last week by Stade de Reims before then suffering a 4-0 loss at home to Toulouse at the weekend as they drift back down the table. Given the poor form of both sides, a low-scoring encounter is to be expected for this one.

Brest vs Angers Tip: Under 2.5 goals
