Brest vs Rennes Lineups and Last Match
Brest
Brest began the new season with consecutive wins and the Pirates already defied the odds big time when coming from 0:2 down to beat Lens 3:2 in the curtain opener. Only last weekend Brest lost for the first time, they were beaten 0-2 away vs Marseille. Even in this defeat though the display was good with Brest dominating possession and registering 18 shot attempts in an away match against a top team.
Del Castillo is playing very well right now and he scored 3 goals in the first 2 rounds.
Brest are enjoying good health and all of the regulars are fit and available. Despite losing last weekend the Pirates are not expected to rotate their starting lineup much.
Predicted Lineup – Bizot (GK), Lala, Chardonnet, Brassier, Locko, Camara, Lees-Melou, Magnetti, Del Castillo, Mounie & Le Douaron
Rennes
Rennes are undefeated after 3 rounds. However, after their 5-1 home win vs Metz in the first game, they were held to draws in their next 2 matches. Last weekend the Terriers threw away a 2:0 lead when hosting the other newly promoted team Le Havre. In the end, they had to settle for a draw after a very scrappy second-half display.
Omari got hurt just before this last match and he is now joining the important winger Terrier in the treatment room. Another key winger Jeremu Doku left the club and right now Rennes are bright light on options out wide.
Predicted Lineup – Mandanda (GK), Assignon, Wooh, Theate, Truffert, Matic, Blas, Bourigeaud, Le Fee, Gouiri & Kalimuendo

Player to Watch: Romain del Castillo
Brest’s lively winger Del Castillo scored 3 goals in the first 2 rounds and only lack of fortune prevented him from scoring last weekend too. Del Castillo is making the most of the chances his tall partners in attack give him with their flick-on headers.
Brest look set to use the same tactics in every match and this means plenty of scoring opportunities for Del Castillo. Considering his form we can see Del Castillo scoring again.
