On Thursday night, Brest will be seeking three points to solidify their position in the top half of the French top flight table as they host Strasbourg, who are currently facing the threat of relegation.

This season, the hosts have raised their performance level significantly following their near escape from relegation in the 2022-23 campaign, finishing just three places above the zone. Eric Roy’s team commenced the season on a high note, losing only one match out of their first eight. However, successive losses against Lille, PSG, and Monaco dealt a significant blow. Nonetheless, The Pirates demonstrated their seriousness in the current season in their last two matches. They won both games, netting six goals altogether.

Meanwhile, Strasbourg had a tense conclusion to their last season, narrowly avoiding the relegation zone by only four points, and they seem to have learned nothing from the experience. Patrick Vieira’s team is currently only one spot above the relegation zone, having secured only thirteen points from their thirteen league matches this season.

Brest vs Strasbourg Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Recently, Strasbourg has been focusing more on their defensive strategy. In three out of their last four games, they have allowed less than 1.5 goals, leading to wins on bets for the “under 2.5 goals” option. Furthermore, recent games between Brest and Strasbourg have been tightly contested, with each of the last three matches ending with a maximum of two goals.
