BREST V LORIENT PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Brest (15^th) is in a poor form at the moment but they are still strong when playing at home (3 wins and 1 draw in 4 games). The main issue of Brest’s players is to score, they only scored 9 goals since the start of the season and they conceded 17.

Lorient (9^th)’s form is not too great either, they haven’t win in ligue 1 since September 16^th(4 draws and 1 loss). They won 3 games, drew 6 times and lost once. Scoring is not an issue for Lorient (19 goals) but they are conceding a lot of goals: 19 (2^nd worst defense of the league).

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Brest has just played 2 games away, which is not their favorite exercise since they lost all their matches played on the outside. This causes additional pressure to win at home to avoid the relegation zone (they are only 3 points ahead of Sochaux). Brest‘s coach Landry Chauvin can count on a full squad to host Lorient in a Brittany derby.

Last week, Lorient showed they had a winning mindset and a great offensive power when they were led 1-4 at halftime against Ajaccio and they came back to 4-4 after a superb second half. They will urgently need to improve their defensive record though as they have conceded 10 goals in the 2 last games.

BREST V LORIENT PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Bookmakers are expecting a tight game in Brest. The away team is slightly favorite at 2.71 with Pinnacle, Brest is offered at 2.90 with Betvictor and the draw at 3.20 with William Hill.

Lorient is clearly a better side than Brest but they are struggling too much in defense to get a win at the moment and Brest remains undefeated at home so far. Besides, Lorient is the champion of draws this season (6) so I won’t be surprised to see another draw here. I would recommend a small stake on the draw.

BREST V LORIENT PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market is set to 0 with the best odd for the home side offered by Pinnacle at 2.06 and for Lorient at 1.87 with Betvictor. Considering the quality of Lorient’s attacking side (Aliadiere and Traore), i would pick the away team.

BREST V LORIENT PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is a clear favorite here, at 1.72 with Pinnacle. The over 2.5 is at 2.20 with Paddypower. Brest’s home games have an average of 2.25 goals, and Lorient’s away ones have an average of 1.6 goals, so the under sounds like the good choice.
