Prediction: 2-2
Brest
Olympique Lyon will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Nantes when they take on Brest in the Ligue 1 round 29. Les Gones have been scoring goals for fun of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against les Pirates. Defender Duje Caleta-Car is banned for the match, while midfielder Orel Mangala misses out with injury.
Brest, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Lorient and Metz. Les Pirates are eager to book their spot in the Champions League, but beating the in-form hosts at Stade Olympique Lyonnais is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, a high-scoring draw is on the horizon. Both Kenny Lala and Jonas Martin are banned for the visiting side, while Eric Roy has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Lyon.
