Brest vs Marseille Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Brest vs Marseille
France – Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, August 30, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade Francis-Le Ble.

Brest is at the bottom of the league, actually at the moment it still doesn't matter after 1 game. The fact that Brest is bottom is because they lost the first game of the season, 4-0 to Nimes.

It was a shocking start to the season, but that could be forgotten if they score even one point in this game. Brest had a decent season last season but weakened as they went along. The biggest plus point for the club was that he performed well at home and scored a lot of points here, which ended up saving the club from any danger of relegation.

Marseille want to wrest the league title away from PSG, it seems like a big question, but that is really their objective this season. This is the clubs' first game of the season, as they didn't play last weekend. This is where your adventure begins.

The club haven't spent much so far but have brought in the likes of Villarreal's Álvaro González and Watford's Pape Gueye. L'OM had some very big wins in pre-season, scoring 11 goals in just two games, although the opposition was very weak. The last pre-season game ended with a 1-0 victory over Nimes.

Brest v Marseille: head-to-head

• Clubs have not played this match since 2012, when Marseille won 2-1.

• The last time the teams met was last November, when Marseille won 2-1 at home.

• The teams have met 7 times in the last decade and Brest has only one victory, which happened in 2012.

Brest – Marseille: Forecast

We'll see where Brest is in this game. The club's problem is that they have just conceded 4 goals and Marseille are a great team. But Brest can be very strong at home and it is interesting that in the last games with Marseille the results have been very close.

That's why we are tempted to fight for a Brest victory, but with a handicap, so that gives us less risk. Marseille tend to have bad weather in these types of games, and it's the start of the season for them, so they could be a bit rusty.

Brest vs Marseille betting tips:
