Brest are looking to rise back to automatic Champions League qualification spots when they travel to Toulouse in their final Ligue 1 game. With survival confirmed, hosts Toulouse will be eyeing a top-10 finish while fourth-placed Brest have set eyes on third place. From the onset, it will seem Brest have more to play for here. Toulouse, have the chance to finish their season with a bang, coming from an impressive run in their recent matches. A 3-1 victory away to PSG last time out was as impressive as they get. Le Tef came from a goal down to shock the champions and will hope the momentum from that win is still with them. That win means Toulouse have just one loss in their last seven matches. In four of those seven they emerged winners. Beating PSG wasn’t a surprise, as it was their fourth straight away win. Toulouse’s home form is the real issue. In their last four league matches at home, Carles Novell’s men are winless. Their poor run of form at home in the league goes beyond this season. Toulouse have just three wins in their last 23 home matches in Ligue 1. They will particularly be worried at their form against Brest, having not won any of their last five meetings.

Brest have slumped a little in their recent matches but in reality, have had a great season. This is in context of having finished 14th last season. The lowest they can finish this season is fourth, which will still feel like a downgrade, having challenged PSG for the better part of the season. They come into this game tied on 58 points with third placed Lille after being slowed by winning just once in the last five matches. If they can only better Lille’s result this weekend, Brest will finish in the top three, which is crucial. As things stand, they will have to go through the Champions League qualifiers, which come without much guarantee. Brest can only do what is in their control; winning their game. It will excite them that they haven't lost to Toulouse in the last five meetings, winning twice. With six away wins in their last 10 league matches, the visitors will approach this match with much confidence.
