Marseille vs Brest prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-07 16:00.
[p]Marseille aim to recover from a controversial midweek European defeat when they face a Brest side looking to avoid an unwanted milestone under Éric Roy.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Marseille were enraged following a controversial UEFA Champions League defeat to Atalanta on Wednesday, after having a late penalty appeal turned down moments before the Italian side’s late winner. That defeat continued a sticky patch for Roberto De Zerbi’s men, who have only won once in their last five games across all competitions (D1, L3), but that did come in their last domestic fixture as they beat Auxerre on the road last weekend. Picking up 38 Ligue 1 points at home in 2025 – more than any other side in this calendar year – should inspire belief they can overcome their midweek disappointment here and they know a victory will see them spend Saturday night at the Ligue 1 summit. [/p]
[p]Brest can only dream of having such lofty ambitions, and arrive on the Mediterranean coast just a point above the bottom three going into this weekend. The Pirates have lost their ruthless edge in recent weeks, having failed to win any of their previous five Ligue 1 games (D3, L2) and could extend that to six for the first time under Roy. One win from five away league matches this term (D1, L3) hardly serves to boost belief for Brest ahead of this tricky-looking trip, particularly given all three defeats came in their only three away league games this term against sides starting this round above them in the table.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Marseille have scored in all of their previous 16 home Ligue 1 matches against Brest, netting 34 times and winning 12 times (D2, L2) in the process.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Eight of Marseille’s last nine Ligue 1 home games have produced over 3.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Marseille have scored a pre-round high of 18 home Ligue 1 goals.[/p]
[p]Only one of Brest’s last six games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Brest have kept just one clean sheet in their previous ten away league games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Robinio Vaz has netted in each of his four Ligue 1 games when coming off the bench this season, which is more than any other player pre-round. Radosław Majecki could be kept busy after making 13 saves across his previous four appearances, but he was on the losing side (2-1) when playing at this ground for Monaco last season.[/p]
[p]Marseille appear to have no fresh injury concerns. Kamory Doumbia has missed Brest’s last three games due to a knee problem.[/p]
