Lorient vs Stade Brestois 29 prediction, odds and how to watch

Brest dominated large portions of this Ligue 1 fixture but had to settle for a point after Olivier Giroud converted from the spot to cancel out Mama Baldé's early opener. Lille were second best for long stretches and will know it.

Stade Brestois 29 put five past Angers at home in a commanding Ligue 1 victory, with Ludovic Ajorque setting the tone early before Jordan Lefort's red card ended any hope of an Angers comeback.

Auxerre made it back-to-back Ligue 1 wins with a 2-1 victory over Stade Brestois 29, with R. Le Guen's own goal in the 83rd minute proving decisive after Cameron Archer had levelled for the visitors at the start of the second half.

Lorient have kept three clean sheets in their last five Ligue 1 matches. Brest have not kept a single one. Something has to give on Saturday night.

Angers have conceded twelve goals in five Ligue 1 matches. Lorient have kept three clean sheets in five. Something has to give on Sunday, and the evidence points firmly in one direction.

Stade Brestois 29 host Nice on Friday evening with both sides carrying inconsistent form and leaky defences. Neither team has kept a clean sheet in their last five Ligue 1 matches.

Stade Brestois 29 welcome Lyon to Brittany on Sunday afternoon in a Ligue 1 fixture that tells you a lot about where both clubs are right now. Neither side can afford to be soft.

Le Havre have not won in five Ligue 1 matches and cannot afford another passive display. Lorient arrive with two wins in their last three and the belief to exploit a host side in crisis.
