Brest aims to maintain their remarkable Ligue 1 performance this Saturday night as they host RC Lens.
Last season, Lens made a bold attempt to snatch the league title from PSG, missing out by a mere point. However, they have struggled to maintain that level of performance in the 2023-24 season. Currently, they are not even in the top five and their recent record shows just one victory in their last four games across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Brest is the only team that stands a chance of competing with Paris Saint Germain for this season’s title. The visitors, trailing by nine points from the top of the table, are optimistic about their prospects in this weekend’s game. They boast the third-best away record in this division.
Lens vs Brest Betting Tips: Double Chance Brest
The hosts are slated as favourites to score three points in this game, but their recent form has been less than stellar. With only one victory in their last five games, Franck Haise’s team can’t claim a run of good form. Their performance at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis matches their overall record, with just one win in five attempts.
Lately, Brest has been performing well, showcasing strong offensive and defensive skills. They have won their last three Ligue 1 games without giving up a single goal, and this winning streak could continue. However, considering they have only won three out of their last six games at this stadium, the 2X option seems like a sensible choice for this match.
