Marseille vs Brest Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 26.08.2023

Ligue 1 Preview

It has been a strong start to the new season for Brest, as they have landed back-to-back victories to start the new season. They were excellent in their first away match of the season last weekend, recording a 2-1 win on the road against Le Harve. Their goals in that success were netted by Romain Del Castillo and Lillian Brassier. 

However, they will face a huge challenge if they are to maintain that winning sequence this weekend, as they visit Marseille. Brest should come into the match in good confidence, as they have won each of their first two matches of the season in Ligue 1 for the first time. However, this weekend, they will be looking to record a third win in a Ligue 1 campaign at the earliest stage in their history.

Marseille will have a point to prove in front of their home fans this weekend, as they are yet to put on a solid performance in their two matches this term. They were made to pay for their under-par performance last weekend, as they played out a 2-2 draw against Metz away from home. 

Their record over their last seven matches in the competition would be a slight concern, as they have picked up just two wins. Defensively, there are big questions that they will need to answer, as they have allowed at least one in each of their previous 12 in all competitions. Meanwhile, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last eleven matches at Stade Velodrome. 

Marseille vs Brest Head to Head

Brest have landed victories in each of their last two matches against Brest in Ligue 1. That is a stark contrast to the trend before the start of last season, as Marseille had gone 12 without defeat against their rivals, winning on ten occasions. 

Marseille vs Brest Prediction

Brest have made an incredibly reliable start to the new season, but they face an increased challenge this weekend. Marseille’s defensive record means that both teams to score could be an eye-catching angle, and a draw could be a likely full-time result.
