Strasbourg vs Brest Prediction
Strasbourg come into this one on the back of a 2-0 victory away from home at Lens last weekend as they push into the top seven ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. The home team have now suffered just one defeat in their last nine Ligue 1 matches. They now face a Stade Brest side that, under the management of former Sunderland player Eric Roy, ended their fairytale with a whimper in midweek as Paris Saint-Germain hammered them by seven goals to nil to complete a 10-0 aggregate rout in the knockout playoff round of the UEFA Champions League. That defeat does now mean they have managed just one win in five matches across all competitions so, given the form as well as their home advantage, siding with Strasbourg looks the way to go for this one.
