Brest preview: In solid form lately
With just one loss in the last six games in the league, Brest have been on a good run recently. However, they are overall only ninth in the standings and bound for a mid-table finish since teams in spots that lead to European competitions are too far ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Justin Bourgault, Bradley Locko, Ibrahim Salah, Soumaila Coulibaly, and Ludovic Ajorque are all on the team's injury list, while Marco Bizot and Abdoulaye Ndiaye are suspended.
Predicted lineup: Coudert (GK), Haidara, Le Cardinal, Chardonnet, Fernandes, Magnetti, Lees-Melou, Camara, Pereira Lage, Ajorque & Sima
