Stade Brestois 29 5-1 Angers result, stats and report

Stade Brestois 29 produced a masterclass in defending deep and hitting hard, beating Lyon 2-0 at home in Ligue 1 despite facing 69% possession and over 650 passes from their opponents.

Lyon were in control from start to finish, with Ernest Nuamah and Corentin Tolisso scoring either side of the break to seal a 2-0 Ligue 1 win over an Angers side that simply did not bring enough to Groupama Stadium.

Lorient were the better side for large stretches at Angers but squandered two big chances and could not find a way through, settling for a point neither team will be particularly satisfied with.

Rennes host Stade Brestois 29 on Sunday afternoon with neither side able to claim they are in convincing form. The basics will decide this one.

Monaco have not kept a single clean sheet in their last five Ligue 1 matches and Angers are coming off a 12-goal concession run. Something has to give on Saturday night.

Stade Brestois 29 have kept exactly zero clean sheets in their last five Ligue 1 matches and Paris FC arrive having already put four past them this year. This one has the makings of another bad night for the hosts.
