Brest vs Lyon prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-01 19:45.
[p]The visit of Lyon seems inopportunely timed for a Brest side who find themselves in the midst of a winless run which has seen their momentum stifled.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After falling to a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Le Havre in midweek, Brest are now winless in four league matches (D2, L2). With that Le Havre defeat preceded by a 3-0 home loss to PSG, the Brittany-based side are now staring down the barrel of three successive defeats for the second time already this season, and their home form would suggest that’s a distinct possibility. Brest have won a joint-low one Ligue 1 home game this term (D2, L2), failing to score in either of their last two such outings, meaning they could now go three top-flight home games without finding the net for the first time in France’s top flight since May 2013. [/p]
[p]Lyon squandered a 3-0 lead against Paris FC on Wednesday, meaning that they have now dropped eight points from winning positions in Ligue 1 this season – the joint second-highest figure in the division pre-round. Paulo Fonseca has steadied the ship somewhat though following back-to-back losses either side of the October international break, as his men go into matchday 11 sitting fifth and only two points off leaders Paris Saint-Germain. Victory here would certainly keep the pressure on the early pacesetters, with the added bonus of marking Les Gones’ best start to a French top-flight campaign since 2017/18. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The last four H2Hs have each seen the home side on the day secure the win, with the margin of victory being exactly one goal on all four occasions. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]None of Brest’s last five matches have seen the away team trail at half-time. [/p]
[p]In each of Brest’s last seven home games, their opponents have received the first yellow card. [/p]
[p]None of Lyon’s last 34 matches have finished 0-0. [/p]
[p]Just one of Lyon’s last 25 league games ended in a draw (W15, L9). [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Brest’s Ludovic Ajorque got what proved to be the winner in last season’s corresponding fixture between these two teams which, like five of his last six club goals, came before the break. Corentin Tolisso has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring four times for Lyon already this term, with each of his last five goals arriving inside 30 minutes. [/p]
[p]Brest don’t appear to have any fresh absentees, but Lyon left-back Abner VinĂcius is suspended after picking up a straight red card against Paris FC. [/p]
