Angers' pre-season performance has been controversial, and, at the start of the championship, the team's failures are not too surprising. Two draws in two rounds are not the worst outcome, but they could have done better against such opponents. After a 0:0 draw with Nantes, they dropped points to Auxerre (2:2). It started severely for Angers. Still, in the end, the team showed character and got back into the game (0:2). However, even when playing short-handed, Gerald Batikle's charges almost conceded the third goal.

Sofiane Boufal returned to action for the game with Auxerre, while Abdalla Sima, Ulrik Enemy, and Rachid Alioui are still injured. In addition, Nabil Bentaleb will not appear due to his disqualification.

Brest looks pretty good, and they are unlikely to have any problems this season. In two rounds, they managed to get only 1 point, but the opponents were not easy - Lens and Marseille are fighting for entry into the European competitions. The club signed some promising players in the summer, and in terms of the squad as a whole, it is unlikely to be weaker than in the last championship.

The team drew 1:1 with Marseille in the last round of Ligue 1. In the 1st half, Brest gave the initiative to their opponents, with a few mistakes resulting in a conceded goal. Nevertheless, the team regained the intrigue and deservedly got back into the game, and with the score of 1:1 they even had chance to take the lead.

Angers has problems in defense and it will be challenging to replace Bentaleb in the defensive zone. Against Auxerre, the opponents had a hard time achieving a draw, although it could have ended in defeat. Brest looked good against Marseille, and against Lens, they showed their character, scoring two goals in the 2nd half. Last week's encounter in Ligue 1 could have been more productive, and now the teams are capable of reaching the total over.
