Prediction: 2-1
Sturm Graz
Brest will try to recover from a 3-1 loss to PSG when they take on Sturm Graz in their Champions League opener. Les Pirates are eager to impress on their Champions League debut, but Thursday’s football match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Locko and Lees-Melou are sidelined with injuries, while Mathias Pereira Lage is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Austrian champions, on the other hand, made a promising start to the season and they are on a six-game winning run in all competitions ahead of the trip to France. As Sturm have been scoring goals for fun in the Bundesliga of late, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Defender Alexandar Borkovic remains on the sidelines with injury for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Brest):
Founded in 1950, Brest (Stade Brestois) are a French football club that compete in the Ligue 1. La Team Pirate welcome their opponents at Stade Francis-Le Ble, the venue which was opened back in 1922. The capacity of the stadium is 15,931, but on August 8, 1986 21,619 watched the game between Brest and Olympique Marseille.
The club’s home colours are red and white, with the team wearing black kit when playing on the travels. Brest’s third kit is white. La Team Pirate, who made it to the French Cup on two occasions (1982/83 and 2014/15), have rivalries with fellow clubs from Bretagne: Rennes, Lorient, Nantes, Guingamp and Vannes.
The likes of Bernard Lama Stephane Guivarch, Paul le Guen, David Ginola and Frank Ribbery are the most notable footballers who played for the club. Bayern Munchen legend Frank Ribery scored 3 goals in 35 appearances for Brest in the national championship.
