Brest – Lyon Predictions

Mid-table Stade Brestois may have claimed just one victory from their previous seven Ligue 1 (L1) outings (W1, D2, L4), but they’ve still played their part in some exciting games this season, with their fixtures averaging 3.24 total goals per match. However, that’s not so surprising when you consider they’ve registered just four goalless first halves so far.

The hosts have claimed 70.97% of their league points at home (W7, D1, L4), and all but one of those seven wins have seen them score first within 30 minutes. Entertaining first halves have been a common theme, as their home league fixtures have averaged a league-high 2.17 first-half goals.

Sitting just outside the league’s top two, Lyon’s shock 2-1 loss in their previous top-flight home outing saw their five-game winning run come to an end. To avoid consecutive L1 losses for the first time since October 2019, starting well will be a priority, as Lyon are the only side to have won every league fixture (of 13) in which they’ve scored first this campaign.

Having picked up an average of 2.08 points per L1 away game ahead of this round (W7, D4, L1), the visitors travel here as the division’s second-best away side (in terms of average points). History could also await Lyon, as a third consecutive away shutout in the top-flight would mark their longest such run in over three years!

Players to watch: Franck Honorat has scored one goal within 35 minutes in five of Brest’s last seven L1 home matches. However, he could be upstaged by Lucas Paquetá, who has been involved in Lyon’s opening goal in four of his last seven L1 starts (three goals, one assist).

Hot streak: The four most recent top-flight H2Hs held here have witnessed at least one goal in the opening 30 minutes.
