Brest Preview – Can the Pirates build on last weekend’s result?

Michel Der Zakarian’s Brest started their league season with an excellent draw at Lyon last weekend. They were the second favourites at the Groupama Stadium, but Irvin Cardona opened the scoring for the visitors just before the break. Lyon equalised in the second half, but the point was a superb result.

The Pirates finished in 17th place last term, narrowly avoiding the drop. However, after last weekend’s solid performance, will they have a successful season under new boss Der Zakarian? Three points on home turf this Sunday will signal a very good start to their campaign.

Our betting prediction:
Draw & both teams to score
10/3

(odds taken 1420 GMT, Saturday 14 August)

 
No games in Ligue 1 are easy, but Brest will fancy their chances in front of their home supporters on Sunday. They are the second favourites, though, with the bookies offering 21/20 for a home victory. Can they prove them wrong?

Rennes Preview – Will Rennais take the points?

Bruno Genesio came in back in March and guided Rennes to an excellent sixth-place finish last season. They ended their league campaign in strong fashion, winning six, drawing two and losing two of their final ten Ligue 1 games. As a result, the Red and Blacks qualified for the UEFA Europa League.

They started their 2021-22 season with a home draw. After taking the lead in the 14th minute, Rennais should have kicked on and sealed all three points at Roazhon Park. However, just five minutes later, Lens were level. The game finished in a 1-1 stalemate.

Building on last term’s sixth-place finish will take some doing, but Europe will be the main aim again for Rennes. Can they pick up an away win at the weekend? The bookies have them priced at 13/10 to leave with all three points.

 

Brest vs Rennes Betting Advice

Rennes did the double over Brest last season, winning 2-1 both home and away. In October, Damien Da Silva and Naif Aguerd were on target at Roazhon Park. In the away fixture in January, Benjamin Bourigeaud and Clement Grenier scored in a 2-1 win. The two previous meetings ended in goalless draws.

 

Key Facts – Brest vs Rennes Betting Tip

  • Three of the last five Brest vs Rennes meetings have ended in draws
  • Both sides kicked off their Ligue 1 seasons with 1-1 draws last weekend
  • Rennes did the league double over Brest last season

 

Rennes head to Brest as the bookies’ favourites, but the hosts will not be an easy nut to crack in front of their home supporters. In the 2019-20 season, both league fixtures ended goalless, while both sides drew on the opening weekend of this term. With that in mind, we are backing the draw here at 12/5.

Irvin Cardoza started his season with a goal at Lyon last Saturday. The 24-year-old striker will be keen to build on that, and Cardoza is available at the decent odds of 13/2 to open the scoring in this one.
