Brest vs Sturm Graz Preview

Brest faced some financial troubles during the summer and had a poor start to the new season. Sturm Graz are flying in Austria right now, so I like their chances to remain unbeaten in France.

Head to Head

This is going to be the first head to head match between Brest and Sturm Graz.

Brest Form

Brest are having a disappointing start in Ligue 1, claiming just three points in four encounters and sitting in 14th place.

They were demolished in the opening match at home by Marseille 5-1, followed with a 2-0 defeat to Lens on the road.

Eric Roy’s side bounced back in the third round, crushing St Etienne 4-0 at home with Mahdi Camara, Romain Del Castillo, Ludovic Ajorque and Kenny Lala on target.

The Pirates gained a lead against PSG last weekend through Del Castillo but lost the match 3-1.

Brest Injuries & Team News

One of Brest’s best defenders Bradley Locko is injured. Pierre Lees-Melou is also sidelined.

Romain Del Castillo is the top contributor so far this season with two goals and one assist in four games.

Sturm Graz Form

Sturm Graz are the table leaders in the Austrian Bundesliga, having collected 12 points across five matches.

After losing to Rapid Wien 1-0 in the first round, they earned four straight victories against Hartberg 2-0, Austria Klagenfurt 2-0, Altach 2-1 and most recently WSG Tirol 4-2. Young striker Mika Bieveth played an important role in these encounters, scoring three goals and registering one assist.

The Blackies were also victorious in the Austrian Cup in late August against Ried 3-1, Seedy Jatta scoring a brace, Tomi Horvat also on target.

There are no injury or suspension concerns for Sturm Graz’s manager Christian Ilzer.

Verdict

Brest v SK Sturm Graz

Sturm Graz are on a red-hot streak right now, having won their last five games. I like their chances to win at least one point against struggling Brest who are one point above the relegation zone in Ligue 1.
