Lyon vs Brest Preview
Lyon and Brest will meet in the match of the 29th round of the French Ligue 1. The meeting will take place on Sunday, April 14 at groupama stadium.
In the upcoming match, teams will play that solve different problems in the current season. Lyon failed at the start of the season, changed its head coach twice, opting for Pierre Sage, and even lasted for some time in the standings. It was Pierre Sage, who had no serious coaching experience, who managed to liberate the team, and now it is no longer in danger of relegation: Lyon is tenth, 12 points clear of the danger zone.
Brest is spending its season much higher than expected, taking second place before the 29th round. It is clear that there is no talk of a championship race with PSG (the Parisians have a 10-point lead), but getting into the UEFA Champions League would be a phenomenal result for the modest club. However, Monaco and Lille are breathing down the team’s back, so they absolutely cannot relax.
Despite their position in the standings, bookmakers consider the hosts to be favourites for the upcoming match. Judging by Lyon vs Brest odds, their victory is estimated with odds of 2.20-2.30, while the probability of success for the guests is estimated at 3.30-3.40. A draw outcome corresponds to odds of 3.20-3.40.
Let's evaluate the current form of the opponents and choose the most reliable option for Lyon vs Brest prediction.
Lyon Preview
The hosts are on an incredible rise: only one defeat in the last 12 matches in all tournaments (9 wins, 2 draws). During this series, Lyon lost only to Lens at home (0-3). In addition, during this period the team secured access to the Coupe de France final, in which they will play against PSG on May 25. A few months ago it would have been impossible to imagine that Lyon would be a serious contender for the trophy this season.
Despite the successful streak, the team failed to significantly improve the statistics of its home matches. In terms of home points, Lyon ranks just 13th in Ligue 1, with just four wins from 14 games.
Brest Preview
The guests can also boast of a successful series in recent matches - only one defeat in eight Ligue 1 games (against Lens away - 0-1) with five wins and two draws. In the last round, the team defeated Metz with an unusual score of 4-3 - usually few goals are scored in games involving Brest, the average for the championship is 2.3 goals per game.
The club ranks third in Ligue 1 in terms of points scored in away matches - 24, only Monaco (28) and PSG (34) have more. At the same time, Brest conceded only 12 goals away, only PSG had fewer goals (9). In only two of the last seven away matches of the championship with the participation of Brest, the opponents scored more than two goals.
Lyon vs Brest Betting Tips
If we talk about personal matches, then Lyon has only one victory over Brest in the last five matches (2 draws, 2 losses). In the first round match, Brest achieved a minimal victory, scoring the decisive goal at the end of the first half.
In the upcoming match it is quite difficult to predict the winner - both teams are on the move, and, most likely, we will have an equal game. In our Lyon vs Brest prediction, we will start from the fact that none of the opponents will dominate, and therefore the match will most likely be sticky, with a lot of fighting in every part of the field. We believe that there will be few goals in the upcoming match, and we will focus on the option of betting on the total under. Our tip for this game: Under 2,5 goals at odds of 1.84.
