Brest vs Lens prediction
Brest come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire last weekend, meaning that they have now endured a three-match losing streak. Eric Roy are destined for a mid-table finish and that is more than reasonable even with their impressive form from the last couple of seasons.
Pierre Sage and his Lens side remain in the hunt alongside Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 title race. The northerners come into this one on the back of hammering Toulouse by four goals to one in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France with goals from Florian Thauvin, Allan Saint-Maximin, Matthias Udol and Adrien Thomasson.
Lens have appeared to rediscover some form of late, albeit they have remained slightly shaky at the back, and so it should be a fun watch here but Lens remain firm favourites.
Brest vs Lens tip: Lens to win & both teams to score
