Lyon vs Brest Preview 

Lyon Preview

Lyon is eagerly anticipating the coming end of the season, as it will mark the possibility to start anew next autumn. A usual contender for the top 5 and the Champions League spots, this season Lyon mostly spent in the middle of the standings, firing two coaches in the process. Under Pierre Sage, the results of the team became a bit better, and after 21 games under his tutelage (which saw 15 wins), Lyon still has the chances to take the last train to the European competitions, given that the 6th place is only 5 points away. At the same time, Brest was never an easy opponent for Lyon even during the team’s best seasons, with the most common result in the history of the head to head matches being 1-1 (5 times in 15 matches). Lyon approaches this match with a series of 5 games without defeat and will do its best to extend it.

Brest Preview 

Since the season 2019/2020, Brest competes in Ligue 1, and while previous seasons saw the team ending the season under top-10, during this campaign, Brest is making history. Currently placed in second place, the team will most likely participate in UEFA Champions League next season for the first time in history. Having 15 wins this season, the team is only 2 points away from repeating its best ever result (54 points after 38 matches). Brest has only one defeat in the last 8 matches but as the season’s end approaches, it became evident that the team’s resources are on the verge of the end. The hard-won games over Metz (4-3) and Lorient (0-1) indicated that Brest still has a lot of room for improvement amid the end of the season.
