We are zooming in on Brest and Montpellier, as the duo face each other at Stade Francis le Ble this coming Sunday in what surely will be an exciting Ligue 1 clash. Montpellier lost 2-1 against Brest in their latest encounter. This served as pay back for the 4-0 defeat, Montpellier handed out in the match before.

With the gap between Brest and Montpellier being only one point, the former currently occupy number seven in the table. The latter trail them at number 13.

The last time Brest played Montpellier, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Sunday.

When it comes to goal-scoring Brest could be more prolific, scoring 16 times in their previous ten games. That is an average of 1.6 goals per game in which, they conceded 17 times. This is an average of 1.7 a game, achieving a clean sheet in two times.

Montpellier hit the target 11 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.1 goals a game. They conceded 2.6 goals per match for a total of 26 goals, while claiming one clean sheet as well.

Brest vs Montpellier Prediction

Brest have four points to show from their last three matches, as they lost 3-2 against Lens, before drawing 1-1 with Marseille. They won their most recent game 1-3 against Angers. Brest claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Ligue 1. They also drew two and lost two, scored eight goals and conceded eight.

Montpellier have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Troyes by 3-2. Disappointment followed, going down 5-2 against PSG, and 1-2 against Auxerre. Montpellier didn't manage a single away win in their last six Ligue 1 matches, but managed zero draws, while suffering six defeats. They conceded 18 and scored five goals themselves.

In our opinion, current form favours Brest slightly more than current odds with the bookmakers suggest. We back them to claim a home win against Montpellier on Sunday.
