Brest – St Etienne : Preview & Prediction
No one would have imagined seeing Brest at this level this season, especially after a very complicated start to the season. Michel der Zakarian’s men have not lost in the league since October 2 and have just gone six unbeaten games including four straight wins. The Brestois also showed an iron defense with two clean-sheets against Monaco and RC Lens then four goals conceded during this series. Suffice to say that Brest is a serious opponent at the moment and that the Stéphanois will have some difficulties this Wednesday evening.
Saint-Étienne is coming out of disappointment after the game against Paris Saint-Germain. After ASSE’s opener, everything turned in favor of the Parisians with a red card for Kolodziejczak and the equalizer just behind on a free kick through Marquinhos. Despite the defeat against the leader of the championship, the Stéphanois were in four games without the slightest defeat and two consecutive victories. This sequence allowed Claude Puel’s men to return to the race for maintenance and a point behind Troyes, seventeenth in the standings.
