Prediction: 2-0
Dunkerque
Brest will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they face Dunkerque on Wednesday evening. Les Pirates quickly bounced back from the embarrassing 7-0 Champions League loss to PSG, with the team sharing the spoils with Strasbourg in their last league match. Brest now aim to return to winning ways and they will not have a better chance than his to do so.
Forward Abdallah Sima is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Jordan Amavi, Romain Del Castillo, Bradley Locko, and Ibrahim Salah remain in the recovery room. Les Maritimes, on the other hand, are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they will have a mountain to climb in Wednesday’s French Cup game. As Brest have turned their Stade Francis-Le Ble into a real fortress, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise.
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.
