Brest vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 05/12/2023, 14:30  by Sridhar in Ligue 1 Predictions

Brest will target a win over relegation-threatened Strasbourg that would take them into Ligue 1 top-five. This match would be played at the Stade Francis-Le Blé on Thursday. The hosts are 7th in the standings with 21 points and two behind top-five while the visitors are 15th with 13 points and just above the bottom-three. Brest are coming off a 3-0 win over Clermont Foot that made it consecutive victories. Another win here will propel them to fifth and just two behind top-four. That motivation should be enough for the hosts, who have kept their home venue a tough place to visit this campaign. Brest have won three, and drawn two of their six home league matches in this season. Their only defeat has come against PSG, where they were beaten by a late goal.

Strasbourg are only a point above the bottom-three, while a win could get them as high as 11th. The visitors have lost 2-1 to Reims in their last round that ended a three-game drawing sequence. That result has made it a seven-game winless run in the league, drawing three and losing four. It is their scoring record that has been their bane, as Strasbourg have found the net only 11 times in this league campaign. That is worse than all sides bar Clermont Foot, who have only nine goals to their name. The visitors have struggled on the road, picking up a solitary win across six league trips. They have lost four of those matches, three coming to nil, which could once again prove to be a challenge.
