Brest Form

Brest are the most pleasant surprise package this season in Ligue 1, claiming 50 points in 27 matches and sitting in high 2nd place on the table with seven rounds left to be played.

They returned to winning ways last weekend with a narrow 1-0 victory at Lorient, Romain Del Castillo scoring a late winner while Bilal Brahimi was sent off in the stoppage time.

Earlier in March, Brest also beat Le Havre 1-0 at home, followed by a 1-0 loss at Lens. They also won a point in a home- encounter against Lille 1-1, Martin Satriano scoring a late equalizer.

Eric Roy’s side has the best defensive stats in the league, allowing just 20 goals so far. Their current record at home is also impressive – seven wins, five draws and one defeat.

Metz are in a difficult situation when it comes to the relegation battle, sitting in 17th position after collecting just 23 points from 27 matches so far, being four points short of safety.

The Maroons suffered a convincing 5-2 defeat last weekend against Monaco last weekend, Pape Diallo and Ibou Sane scoring consolation goals in the second half.

That was their second consecutive defeat in Ligue 1, previously losing to Reims 2-1, Arthur Atta scoring an equalizer in the first half, but they conceded in the 79th minute.

The last time Metz secured all three points was in early March at home against Clermont 1-0, Georges Mikautadze appearing on the scoresheet.
