Lens vs Brest – Lens have been quite solid recently, putting up a respectable number of points on the board over the last several game weeks. They’ve also had a strong run of performances at home, with just a few small stumbles, and against some of the best in the league.

They are now ranked sixth in the table, and a top-five finish is clearly their goal. They still require a three-point advantage to move up to the fifth place.

In the meanwhile, based on recent results, Brest is one of the weaker clubs in Ligue 1. They’re allowing a lot of goals in, and they’ve been a mess for a long time, especially on the road.

Last week’s match between Angers and Lens at the Stade Raymond Kopa was marked by three remarkable goals, with Les Scoistes breaking the deadlock just before the interval with Angelo Fulgini’s thunderbolt before Franck Haise’s team stormed back.

There were no such magnificent goals on display at the Stade Francis Le-Ble during Brest’s game against Lorient in game week 26, but Les Merlus took advantage in a somewhat chaotic manner after Brendan Chardonnet was sent off on the stroke of half-time.

Lens vs Brest – Hot stat:

Lens defeated Angers 1-2 on the road in their most recent match. They’ve gone three games without losing and have won five of their previous nine games. They’ve also only lost one league match at this site since September, and that loss came against previous champions Marseille.

Brest, on the other hand, was defeated 0-1 at home by Lorient last week. They’ve also lost nine of their last twelve games overall, and have a six-game losing streak on the road. They have also lost three of their previous four road trips.

Lens will most likely win this weekend. Regardless, Brest had won the opposite match by a huge margin, and they have prevailed in head-to-head matches in the past. As a result, expect goals from both ends of the field this weekend.
