Prediction: 1-1
Brest
Buoyed by a historical 3-1 win over league leaders PSG, Lorient will look to retain their spot in top ten when they take on Brest on Sunday. Les Merlus are high on confidence ahead of Matchday 34, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Midfielder Bamo Meite is banned for the match, while all Igor Silva, Vito Mannone, Jean-Victor Makengo, Theo Le Bris, and Julien Laporte remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, are fighting hard to secure the Ligue 1 survival. Brest are eager to escape the relegation zone, but beating Lorient away from home is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Forward Karamoko Dembele remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem. In the first half of the season Lorient defeated Brest 2-1.
