Lens and Brest are both in promising positions to challenge for a European finish this term. The visitors this weekend could also potentially close the gap on the top of the standings to six points with a win on the road.

Ligue 1 Preview

Brest will take huge confidence from their performances this term, and they could be on course to achieve an unlikely finish in the Champions League positions. The French side could yet push PSG closest for the title this term, as they are just nine points behind the defending champions. Brest come into this round after winning each of their last three. 

Lens will also come into this weekend chasing a huge goal, as they could move into the Champions League spots with a victory on Saturday. The French side have won three of their last five, but they have picked up maximum points on just one occasion in the previous three. However, they come into this round after picking up a success in their last match in Ligue 1.

But, it could be hard to overlook the fact that Lens have suffered defeats in two of their last three home matches. That is as many defeats as they had suffered in their last 32 at home They could also lose back-to-back home fixtures for the first time since January 2021 this weekend. 

Huge confidence should also be taken based on Brest’s record away from home in the league. They have avoided defeat in each of their last six on their travels, picking up four victories and two draws over that period. A win or draw against Lens this weekend would see them set a club-record for most games without defeat on the road. 

Lens vs Brest Head to Head

Lens have recorded just two wins from their last seven league matches against Brest since returning to the top-flight in 2020. Over that period, they have suffered three defeats. Lens have only endured fewer victories against Nice over the same period. 

Lens vs Brest Prediction

Both of these teams come into this round in strong recent form. However, Brest are sporting a 13-game unbeaten run in the competition, and they are enjoying their best start to a top-flight season. Their away record is also excellent, and we could see them landing a fifth win in eight on the road on Saturday.
