Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Brest will look to recover from a heart-breaking Champions League loss to PSG when they take on Auxerre in the Ligue 1 round 22. Les Pirates will be fully focused on the national championship in upcoming days and, no doubt, they will try to move closer to the Champions League berth. Midfielder Mahdi Camara is back from suspension, while all Jordan Amavi, Karamoko Dembele, Bradley Locko, and Romain Del Castillo should miss out with injuries.
Christophe Pelissier’s troops, on the other hand, have not record a win since November 24, 2024. With Auxerre obviously struggling at the back, we predict that Brest are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s clash. In their last meeting at Stade Francis-Le Ble, Brest defeated Auxerre, which supports our previous prediction. Adding to their woes, defender Paul Joly is banned 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.
