Troyes vs Stade Brest Prediction: Brest can't afford to lose

This match features two struggling teams in the division. Troyes welcome Stade Brest to the Stade de l'Aube for the 28th round of the Ligue 1. These two have had a poor run of games leading to this match and a victory for either side will affect who gets to survive the relegation zone in the long run. Between them is only 3 points and a win here would see Brest move further or Troyes coming out of the relegation zone. 

So, what's it going to be at the end of 90 mins? Let's take a critical look into these two teams.

Troyes' form is a disaster and they keep holding onto very disappointing records in the league. Troyes have not tasted a win in over 11 matches in all competitions. In their last 5 matches, they had 1 draw and 4 losses. The most recent match ended in a 2-0 defeat against Lorient away from home. Although their performance was not as shambolic as the result. They had 48% possession, 2 shots on target and 4 corner kicks. But they still couldn't create a scoring opportunity. 

Lorient are in 19th spot in the league table, with 20 points from 27 matches. They hold a record of 4 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses. 

Team Streaks:- no wins (11), without clean sheet (12), more than 2.5 goals (5/7), less than 4.5 cards (⅚), less than 10.5 corners (⅘).

Brest are also very poor but not as poor as the opposition that they travel to face. They are also popular for the wrong reasons; picking up scarce wins after long periods of defeats. In their last 5 matches, Brest had 3 losses and 1 win. They lost their last match 2-1 against French giants PSG at home. Franck Honorat was on target, as he equalised in the 43rd minute after the visitors scored in the 37th minute. Unfortunately, Brest lost the battle in the second half, as Kylian Mbappe slotted home in the 90th minute.

Brest are not safe from the relegation tussle. They are 16th with 23 points from 27 matches. They had 5 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses.

Team Streaks:- more than 2.5 goals (⅘), less than 4.5 cards (8/10).

Troyes and Brest have played 15 matches against each other before now. Brest have 8 wins, while Troyes have 4 wins and 3 matches ended in a draw.

• Brest have no losses in their last 5 meetings.
• Troyes are without a clean sheet in 5 meetings.
• Brest are without a clean sheet in 9 meetings.
• Both teams scored in 9/9 meetings.
• Brest were first to score in ⅘ meetings.
• Brest won the first half in ⅘ meetings.

Based on current form, there's really nothing interesting about these two teams. But Brest seem to be the least worst team between the two and the head to head shows they are the better side. We won't risk playing Brest as an outright winner, but we don't expect Troyes to win either.
