Prediction: 2-1
Lorient
Stade Francis-Le Ble will host Wednesday’s Ligue 1 game between Brest and Lorient, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Brest have been producing excellent displays of late, with the team winning four of their last five league matches and they must be high on spirits following a 2-0 triumph over Nantes. Both Achraf Fari and Jordan Amavi are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team ahead of the visit of Lorient.
Les Merlus, on the other hand, do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. As Lorient have been struggling at the back in December, we are tempted to bet on the in-form hosts. The likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ayman Kari, Loris Mouyokolo, Dembo Sylla, and Quentin Boisgard are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
