In their last five outings, they have won twice and drawn three times consecutively. Although unbeaten in this run, Brest will look to bounce back to the winning run that has allowed them to challenge at the top end of Ligue 1.
They will look to win at home to Marseille as they bid to climb the table into Champions League places.

The four stalemates have all come in score scorelines. The draws came against Montpellier (1-1), Strasbourg (1-1), Monaco (2-2), and Metz (1-1).
