Brest welcomes Marseille to the Stade Francis-Le Blé for this match in the French Ligue 1. The home team lost their opening match 3-2 to Lens but showed excellent fighting spirit as they came from 3-0 down to score two late goals. They will be hoping for a better start in their first home match of the season. Marseille on the other hand had an excellent start to their league campaign as they thrashed Reims 4-1 in their opening match. Brest played five pre-season matches in which they won three, lost one and drew one. They need a win in this match to get off the mark this season and if they want to improve on their 11th place finish of last season. Brest have now lost four consecutive league matches after losing the last three matches of last season. They are however unbeaten in their last four home matches during the pre-season.

Marseille enjoyed a stellar last season where they finished in second position albeit 15 points behind champions PSG. They signaled their intent in the first match this season when they won 4-1. Marseille did not enjoy the best of pre-seasons as they only won one of their five matches with three losses. These matches could sometimes be misleading as teams don’t often play their strongest teams. Last season Marseille gained 39 points away from home and this was the best record in the league. In the past four meetings with Brest, the away team has won three of the matches. Marseille have only won one of their last five away matches.
