Form Guide
Lorient
LLDWL
Lorient failed to capitalize on the four points they collected by taking a shocking victory over Monaco (3-1) and securing a stalemate over Le Havre. The side fell to a defeat to newly promoted Paris FC, having failed to find a response to two goals in the encounter. Lorient have racked up 7 points from their opening seven league games this campaign. A tally spread out over two wins, four defeats and a lone draw. The hosts' worry at the moment is a defensive unit that has already conceded on sixteen occasions. Seven of those came in the disappointing loss to Lille at home.
Brest
LLWWD
Brest sit two places above their opposition in this encounter, but boast just a one-point difference on the back of a mixed showing this campaign. The side's recent form has been a massive improvement to how they started this season. The visitors failed to win any of their opening four games this campaign. After the opening day three-all draw against Lille, the side lost their next three games in the division. Brest's resurgence began at the end of September when they navigated a 4-1 win over Nice. Ahead of this encounter, the side have now secured back-to-back clean sheets and command a three-game unbeaten run.
Prediction
Lorient's home advantage in this encounter tips the scales of a positive result in the side's favour.
