Marseille will be looking to end their three game winless run in the Ligue 1 this Sunday when they playfhost to Brest at Stade Francis-Le Ble. Kickoffs at 22:45 EAT.
Brest’s season has been a tale of two halves. They started the campaign without a win any of their first 11 games, a run that sunk them into the relegation zone. From October 31st, they put together a run of six straight wins, pulling them up to the tenth place at one point. However since then, their form has been inconsistent. In their last five games, they have two wins, a draw and two loses.
Brest prepares for this meeting confident following the 0-1 Ligue 1 victory over RC Lens in their last outing. In that game, Brest had 37% possession, five shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Franck Honorat (59′). RC Lens got 20 shots on goal with five of them on target.
Jorge Sampaoli’s dropped to third position in the Ligue 1 ladder as a consequence of two loses and a draw in their last three games, UEFA Champions League ambitions in now in jeopardy as the league is approaching the end. However, Marseille did not look great in the previous three Ligue 1 fixtures; we expect them to shine here against Brest whom they have defeated in five of the last six head to head matches.
Marseille heads into this meeting off the back off 2-1 Europa Conference League win to beat FC Basel 1893 in their last fixture. In that game, Marseille had 69% possession, 20 shots with five of them on target and goals scored by Arkadiusz Milik (19′, 68′). FC Basel 1893 got eight shots with two of them on target and a goal by Sebastiano Esposito (80′).
