The high-flying Brest will travel to Marseille this weekend in Ligue 1 with both clubs looking to continue their good start. This match to be played at the Stade Vélodrome on Saturday will see the hosts sixth with four points and the hosts second on six. Marseille started the season with a 2-1 win over Reims before dropping points in a 2-2 draw against Metz last weekend. The draw was particularly heart-breaking as it saw them play with ten men for nearly 30 minutes and yet lead 2-1, only to concede a late goal. That followed their disappointments in the Champions League and the Coupe de France where they were sent packing early. Indeed, the hosts come into this match with just one win across five competitive matches, that saw them lose three. Two of those losses have come via penalties, but there’s good news coming from this venue. They are unbeaten in five home games this season, at regular time, with their two losses coming via penalties.

Brest are enjoying a great start to the league campaign with consecutive wins. They started with a 3-2 win over Lens and followed it up with a 2-1 win over Le Havre last weekend. That gave them a tally of six points, something which they could get only after nine matches in the last campaign. This is also the best two-game start to a Ligue 1 campaign in the history of the club, so the visitors are going to travel with high spirits. Brest have not shied away from the travels, winning both their competitive away matches this season. In fact, going back to previous season, they have avoided defeat in six of their last seven away Ligue 1 matches. They won and drew three games each, losing only one in that sequence.
