Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Out-of-form Le Havre will look to record their first win of the year when they take on Brest on Matchday 19. Le Havre do not seem to be at their sharpest, but their display in a 1-1 draw with Reims was anything but poor. Defender Youte Kinkoue serves a one-game ban, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Brest.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Olympique Lyon and Rennes. Brest have been scoring goals for fun of late and given Le Havre’s need for points, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Defender Julien Le Cardinal is back from the Champions League ban, while all Locko, Amavi, Haidara, and Martin continue to miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at Stade Oceane, Brest defeated Le Havre 2-1.
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.
