Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Sunday’s football game at Stade Raymond-Kopa pits together Angers and Brest, the two teams sitting in the danger zone. Angers kicked off their Ligue 1 campaign in style, with the team beating Paris FC 1-0 at home, but they are on a four-game winless run ahead of Brest’s visit. Gabon forward Jim Allevinah remains on the sidelines with injury, but the 30-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Nice and they managed to get one in style (4-1), with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run. The visitors are brimming with confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash and given Angers’ dip in form, away win should definitely be considered. The visitors are boosted by Radoslaw Majecki’s return (goalkeeper) from suspension, whereas both Balde and Tousart are expected to miss out with injuries.
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.
