Key Factors to Consider
- Brest has struggled for consistency, winning only 2 of their last 12 league games and suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Marseille in their last outing. Their home form is poor, with just one win in their last five at Stade Francis-Le Blé. Metz, meanwhile, has shown signs of improvement after a rough start to the season, winning their last two away games and conceding only one goal in their last three matches. However, they have a leaky defense overall, having conceded 27 goals in 12 games.
- Brest has dominated recent meetings, winning the last three encounters against Metz, including a 4-3 victory in April 2024. Historically, Metz has won two of their last three visits to Brest, with their last away win in September 2021. The last five meetings have seen an average of 3.2 goals per game, indicating a tendency for high-scoring affairs.
- No major injuries or suspensions have been reported for either side ahead of this match.
- The match will be officiated by referee Gaël Angoula. Both teams are under pressure to secure points to avoid the relegation battle, which could impact their approach. The weather is expected to be mild with no significant disruptions.
- Both teams are highly motivated to secure a win to move away from the relegation zone. Brest will be looking to end their poor home run, while Metz aims to extend their recent positive form and achieve consecutive away wins for the first time in over two years.
