Brest Double Chance
Brest have been dogged performances in recent weeks and though wins have still been few and far between for them, Les Pirates have managed to avoid defeat in four of their last five assignments in Ligue 1. Montpellier meanwhile, have lost five of their last six fixtures in the division and with their form rotten and confidence low, they could struggle to make home advantage count on Sunday. As a result, our first prediction recommends a stake on Brest in the double chance market.
Under 2.5 Goals
Brest’s upturn in form has been built on solid defensive foundations and tough tackling, and many of their matches of late have been low-scoring tussles as a consequence. Indeed, five of their last six contests featured under 2.5 goals and Brest have been well-drilled enough of late to suggest they can keep things just as tight when they visit the Stade de la Mosson this weekend. With chances likely to be thin on the ground, another bet on under 2.5 goals is advised at the odds on offer.

Montpellier vs Brest Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Sunday’s Ligue 1 encounter between Montpellier and Brest below.
Montpellier
Montpellier's treatment room is virtually empty at present and defender Pedro Mendes is listed as their only injury concern ahead of the weekend. Montpellier lost 2-0 at Strasbourg in their last Ligue 1 fixture and there is now a gap of just two points between them on the drop zone.
Predicted Lineup for Montpellier: Lecomte – Tchato, Kouyate, Esteve, Sylla – Ferri, Chotard, Fayad – Nordin, Mavididi, Khazri
Brest
Brest are sweating over the availability of three players ahead of Sunday's game. Defenders Brendan Chardonnet and Noah Fadiga could miss out, however, as could midfielder Mathias Pereira Lage. Brest held a strong Lens team to a 1-1 draw in their last league assignment and they will be level on points with Montpellier ahead of kick-off this weekend.
Predicted Lineup for Brest: Bizot – Lala, Dari, Herelle, Brassier – Lees-Melou, Honorat, Camara, Belkebla, Le Douaron – Mounie
Player to Watch – Jérémy Le Douaron
Jérémy Le Douaron has been a key performer for Brest this season and the versatile attacker scored his fifth Ligue 1 goal of the campaign against Lens last time out. The 24-year-old has chipped in with three goal contributions in his last three appearances in the division overall, and Le Douaron will be determined to make a similar impact when he lines up against Montpellier on Sunday.
