The Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Brestois 29 vs. Olympique Lyonnais, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, April 20, at the Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Brest failed to earn a point over the weekend following the 2-1 defeat to St-Étienne at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Franck Honorat (8') put Brest in the lead inside the first ten minutes before a brace from Mahdi Camara (14' & 39') left Brest with their third defeat in five Ligue 1 games, LLWDL. In 12th place with 39 points from 10W, 9D, & 13L, Brest are looking to return to winning ways at the end of this mid-week clash against the Kids. A victory for Brest would see the club pick up equal points with 11th place Montpellier [42 points] if the latter fails to earn a point against RC Lens in the mid-week round of fixtures. Brest has been able to hit the back of the net consistently, bagging a goal ratio of 1.25 GPG, having scored 40 goals in 32 Ligue 1 games this season. The club has also conceded 47 goals [an average of 1.47 goals conceded per game] and has a goal difference of -7. Over the weekend, Michel Der Zakarian lined up the 4—4—2, leaving Steve Mounie and Franck Honorat in attack against the Greens. A similar shape may be seen on Wednesday against Lyon when Brest make their 33rd league appearance of the season.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Brestois 29 vs. Olympique de Marseille, kicks off at 20:45 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 13, at the Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Brest are coming off the back of a 1-0 win over RC Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis last weekend. Franck Honorat (59') scored the only goal of the game and handed Brest all three points on the road. Having returned to winning ways after two games without a victory, the Pirates are left with the form "LWDLW", and they sit in 12th place, having picked up 35 points after 9W, 8D, and 10L. Having won at the Velodrome earlier in the season, Brest are looking to complete a league double over Marseille for the very first time in Ligue 1. However, the club has lost three of its last five home games [2W, 0D, 3L]. Taking a look at the numbers, Brest has a goal ratio of 1.3 GPG this season, having scored 35 goals in 27 Ligue 1 games. The club has also conceded 38 goals [1.41 goals conceded per game] and has a goal difference of -3. Michel Der Zakarian would like to bag three points at the end of the weekend but could settle for a point if defeat appears to be imminent. For this match against Les Olympiens, the Pirates could line up 3—4—1—2, with Martin Satriano and Jérémy Le Douaron in attack. Meanwhile, Brendan Chardonnet is suspended for this clash against Marseille, while Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (thigh injury) remains doubtful for the weekend's game.

Stade Brestois 29 vs. Lille LOSC kicks off at 17:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, January 22, at the Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Despite a spirited performance last weekend, Brest picked up a 2-0 defeat to PSG at the Parc des Princes on Ligue 1 Matchday 21. Brest’s Irvin Cardona found himself one-v-one with Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal but failed to convert. Minutes later, Brest came close to finding the opener, but the 6ft. 4’ tall PSG goalkeeper found the decisive touch to tip the ball over the crossbar. A remarkable goal from none other than Kylian Mbappe (32'), two minutes after the half-hour mark, saw PSG take the lead. Minutes later, the in-form Thilo Kehrer (53') bagged the winner, leaving Brest with back-to-back defeats: WLDLL. The club remains in 13th place, with 25 points after 6W, 7D, & 8L, and a win over Lille would see them close in on the top-ten if favorable results emerge at the end of the weekend from several intertwined fixtures. A 4—4—2 formation with Irvin Cardona and Jérémy Le Douaron in attack is expected from Michel Der Zakarian for this fixture against Lille. On availability, Haris Belkebla remains on international duty with Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon 2021, and is ruled out for this weekend's fixture.

After salvaging a point in the game against the Kids, Le Parisiens takes on Les Pirates this weekend, hoping to return to winning ways. Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs. Stade Brestois 29 kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, January 15, at Parc des Princes.

Brest got picked apart in a 3-0 loss to ten-man OGC Nice last Sunday at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Despite having the numerical advantage midway through the first forty-five, the Pirates were unable to carve out any significant result at the end of the ninety. Goals from Kasper Dolberg (13'), Andy Delort (79'), and Amine Gouiri (90'+4) condemned the Pirates to their second defeat in five games: WWLDL. The loss saw the club drop one spot from 12th to 13th place on the Ligue 1 table, having failed to earn a point on Matchday 20. Brest has 25 points from 6W, 7D, & 7L ahead of this fixture against PSG. An unlikely win would see Brest climb a few spots ahead if favorable outcomes emerge at the end of the weekend. In the 3-0 drubbing against the Eagles, Michel Der Zakarian went along with the conventional 4—4—2 formation. He is expected to stick to the same formation for this fixture against PSG, leaving Steve Mounie and Jérémy Le Douaron in attack.

Stade Brestois 29 vs. OGC Nice kicks off at 13:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, January 9, at Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Brest picked up a 1-1 draw against Troyes at the Stade de l'Aube right before the Christmas break. Franck Honorat (5’) had Brest in the lead, with a remarkable solo effort which saw him leave as many as five blue shirts watching as the ball crossed the goal-line. Brest were looking ripe for the win, but a defensive clearance found Adil Rami (80’) in the way, leaving Troyes with the leveler. The draw leaves Stade Brestois with the form: WWWLD and in 12th place, having picked up 25 points from 6W, 7D, & 6L. Brest will be coming off the back of a 3-0 win over Bordeaux in the French FA Cup round-of-32, and Michel Der Zakarian aims to pick up his second victory [across all competitions] in the new year on Sunday when his side takes on the Eagles. A win here could see Brest inside the top ten, if favorable outcomes emerge in other intertwined fixtures. On the numbers, Brest has a goal ratio of 1.37 g.p.g. this season, with 26 goals in 19 Ligue 1 games. The club has also conceded 28 goals (an average of 1.47 goals conceded per game) and has a goal difference of -2. A 4—4—2 formation with Steve Mounie and Jérémy Le Douaron in attack is expected from Michel Der Zakarian against OGC Nice on Sunday.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique de Marseille vs. Stade Brestois 29, kicks off at 17:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, December 4, at the Stade Vélodrome.

Borrowing a leaf from Marseille’s book, Brest also picked up a narrow 1-0 win over St-Etienne earlier in the week at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Romain Faivre (64’ P.) bagged the game’s only goal from the penalty spot, four minutes after the hour mark. With the win, the club moved one spot ahead, from 12th to 11th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 21 points from 5W, 6D, and 5L. Stade Brestois returns with five consecutive victories, WWWWW, and Michel Der Zakarian aims to extend the winning run over Marseille. Focusing on the numbers at both ends of the pitch. Brest has 23 goals after 16 Ligue 1 games. A goal ratio of 1.44 goals scored per game. At the defensive end, Les Pirates have conceded 22 goals (1.38 goals per match) this season and have a G.D. of +1. Michel Der Zakarian and the Pirates could appear with the 4—4—2 formation, leaving Steve Mounie and Jérémy Le Douaron in attack. The pair have a combined total of 9 goals between them; 4 and 5 goals, respectively. Both players, should they feature, will have an eye on goal. Hianga'a M'Bock (illness) remains doubtful for this fixture against Olympique Marseille.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Brestois 29 vs. RC Lens, kicks off at 13:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, November 21, at Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Brest picked up a 2-1 win over ten-men Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir with 14,649 in attendance. The Nigerian international, Terem Moffi, proved to be too quick and too tricky as he found Grbic (5') inside the box after doing all the hard work to see Lorient end up with the lead. Lorient looked like the side that would eventually bag three points until a red card was shown to Jérôme Hergault (R. 28'), which left the home side with a numerical disadvantage. A VAR-assisted penalty saw Romain Faivre (58' P.) level the score-line from 12 yards before Steve Mounie (80') tucked the ball away for the winner. Remaining undefeated in four games and with back-to-back victories, LDDWW, Brest are in 17th place, having picked up 12 points after 2W, 6D, & 5L. The club has a goal ratio of 1.23 goals per game this season, having scored 16 goals in 13 Ligue 1 games. They have also conceded 21 goals and have a G.D. of -5. An average of 1.62 goals conceded per game. The pause in action lets us regenerate well, Michel Der Zakarian said ahead of Sunday’s game. We left the relegation zone and there looks to be light at the end of the tunnel, which feels good, he added. But we have to keep winning now if we're going to save ourselves, the Brest boss concluded. Two center-backs, Brendan Chardonnet (groin) and Denys Bain (thigh), are ruled out, while Christophe Hérelle is expected back in the squad having returned to full fitness. A 4—4—2 formation against Lens is expected, with Jérémy Le Douaron and Steve Mounié in attack.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Brestois 29 vs. AS Monaco, kicks off at 17:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, October 31, at Stade Francis-Le Blé.

Brest returns to Ligue 1 action following last weekend’s 1-1 draw against the Ligue 1 champions, Lille. Yet to find a win this season, Brest entered the contest of ninety minutes winless in their last 14 Ligue 1 games. Lille were on the front foot, and eventually established the lead in the first opening twenty minutes. Jonathan David (19’) had two Brest shirts beaten with the right-footed reverse cut-back before picking his spot with the left. Two minutes after the half-hour mark, Brest were awarded a free-kick close to the box. Fortunately, Romain Faivre (32’) saw his freekick end up in the back of the net after a huge deflection. A few clear-cut chances went by at both ends, and both sides eventually settled for the draw. Brest will return with two draws in a row: LLLDD, having just 6 points after 0W, 6D, & 5L. Despite having a decent goal-scoring average of 1.09 goals per game – which should be enough to leave Brest with a few victories - the club remains rooted in 18th place. However, it remains clear that the problems are in defense. In eleven games, Brest has let in an unimpressive haul of 20 goals (1.82 goals conceded per game), and are left with a goal difference of -8. Despite picking up only two points in five games, Michel Der Zakarian could see the recent results as positives for the club. On Sunday, he could appear with the 4—2—3—1 formation, leaving Steve Mounie in attack against AS Monaco.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, Lille OSC vs. Stade Brestois 29, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, October 23, at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. This will be the tenth episode of their rivalry, dating back to the 1993/1994 Ligue 1 season.

Navigating through troubled waters, Brest remains in 19th place despite a 1-1 draw against Reims on Matchday 10, which leaves the club with 5 points after 0W, 5D, & 5L. Brest are without a win this season and have the form: DLLLD, ahead of this Matchday 11 fixture against the French Champions. A closer look at the numbers clearly identifies the defense as the club’s Achilles heel. Brest have 11 goals after 10 Ligue 1 games. An average of 1.1 goals scored per game, but the Pirates have conceded as many as 19 goals this season (an average of 1.9 goals-per-match). The Pirates have a goal difference of -8. On Saturday, Michel Der Zakarian’s attacking 4—2—3—1 formation could see Steve Mounié in attack once again. The 58-year-old coach has no major injury worries ahead of this Matchday 11 fixture.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, Clermont Foot 63 vs. Stade Brestois 29 kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, September 19 at the 11,980-capacity Stade Gabriel Montpied.

Stade Brestois 29 picked up a 1-1 draw against 2nd-placed Angers SCO on Matchday 5 at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Romain Faivre (62' P.) scored Brest's only goal from the penalty spot. The club remains at the bottom end of the table in 18th while having 3 points from 0W, 3D, & 2L (DDLLD). Michel Der Zakarian will continue in the pursuit of his first victory with the club on Sunday when his side visits the Stade Gabriel Montpied. Brest have hit the back of the net six times this season after five Ligue 1 games and have an average of 1.2 goals scored per game. Meanwhile, the Pirates have conceded 10 goals (2.0 g.c.p.g) and hence, have a goal difference of -4. Last weekend, in the game against Angers, Michel Der Zakarian adopted the 4—2—3—1 formation with Irvin Cardona, who has two goals for the club at the top of the shape. A similar formation could emerge against Clermont on Sunday. Focusing on the injury list, defensive midfielder Paul Lasne is ruled out with a cruciate ligament rupture and is expected to rejoin the squad next month, while Sebastien Cibois remains sidelined with an Achilles tendon rupture.
