Stade Brestois vs Olympique Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips

Stade Brestois and Olympique Lyon are back in action in the French Ligue 1 when they face off at the Stade Francis-Le Blé on Wednesday.

The hosts were condemned to two defeats in their two friendlies and will be looking to arrest their slump.

Stade Brestois endured a disappointing run of results in the FIFA World Cup break as they suffered successive defeats against Osasuna and Stade Reims in their two friendlies.

They have now turned their sights to Ligue 1, where they are unbeaten in three of their last four matches, claiming one draw and two wins, including a 2-1 home victory over Troyes in their final outing before the break.

Brest’s turnaround has seen them rise from the relegation zone as they now sit in 16th place in the league table with 13 points from 15 matches.

Elsewhere, Olympique Lyon enjoyed a decent run of results during the break as they picked up two wins and one draw in their five friendly matches.

They have now returned to Ligue 1 where they are currently eighth in the league standings after picking up 21 points from 15 matches.

However, Lyon have managed just one win away from home this season and will set out on Wednesday to improve on this poor away record.
