Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Stade Francis – Le Ble will host Sunday’s Ligue 1 game between Brest and Toulouse. Les Pirates enjoyed a very successful 2023/2024 Ligue 1 campaign, with the team booking their spot in the Champions League, but things are not going that well for Eric Roy’s troops. As the hosts head into the match following the Champions League encounter with Sturm Graz, home win should not be considered. All Romain Faivre, Bradley Locko, and Pierre Lees-Melou are sidelined with injuries for the home side.
Toulouse, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Le Havre and they managed to get one. As les Pitchouns showed signs of improvement in their last league match, we believe that they are capable of holding Brest to a draw at Stade Francis – Le Ble. Gabon international undisputedly deserves a spot in the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Le Havre, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away 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.
