Brest have made a difficult start to their Ligue 1 campaign, winning once and losing three times in the opening four rounds of fixtures in the French league.
Last time out, Brest traveled to the Parc des Princes for a one-on-one clash against the defending champions and Ligue 1 pacesetters, PSG. They duly lost 3-1, with a significant gulf apparent between the two sides last Saturday.
With just 32% of the ball, Brest played on the back foot and sought to attack in transitions. They had just three attempts on target out of five overall. This match demonstrated Brest’s weaknesses, chiefly their lack of potency in attack. They lost 1-5 at home to Marseille and 2-0 at Lens in the opening two matches.
These matches highlighted Brest’s struggles in front of goal but also their frailties at the back, which have been exposed time and again this season. Our football predictions show that Brest will look to tighten at the back when they host Sturm Graz on Thursday in the Champions League.
The defending Austrian Bundesliga champions have started the new season impressively, winning four times and losing once in their opening five rounds of fixtures.
They lead the Austrian Bundesliga with 12 points, one ahead of second-placed Rapid Wien, who have played an extra match after the clash between the two on Sunday was postponed due to severe weather.
Sturm Graz have scored ten times in five matches, conceding four times in the process. They typically play on the front foot and try to dominate the ball. Their midfielders are crucial in dictating the tempo of the match, keeping and recycling the ball, and providing the platform for the attackers.
This approach has allowed them to dominate matches while rarely exposing their defenders to many chances. Football bet predictions on 22Bet show that the focus for the manager will be to replicate these performance levels as they travel to Guingamp to face Brest in their first UEFA Champions League match of the season.
