Brest vs Troyes Prediction: Two struggling teams set to face each other

On Sunday, Brest welcomes Troyes to the Stade Francis-Le Ble in Ligue 1.

Brest

Brest's recent form has been dismal, with the club winning just once in their last 11 games, a 3-1 victory over Clermont on October 23. They most recently lost to Nice 1-0 last weekend.

With zero home victories, the fewest home points, and the fewest home goals in the league, the Stade Francis-Le Ble's recent performance has also been alarming.

Bruno Grougi's appointment as interim manager in place of Michel Der Zakarian hasn't had the intended results either; in his four games in command, the former Martinique international has only managed to collect four points.

Troyes

Troyes have emerged as the top entertainers in Ligue 1 thus far this season, their former manager Bruno Irles, who was fired last week, will find solace in that fact.

The Troyes leadership decided it was time for a change after Troyes dropped to 14th place and went winless in six games. Claude Robin will take temporary control while they look for a new manager during the World Cup.

They managed to score 11 goals during that six-game losing streak, including three at Parc des Princes, but a 4-3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain will have been difficult to swallow given that they had twice taken the lead.

Brest possible starting lineup:

Bizot; Fadiga, Chardonnet, Brassier, Duverne; Camara, Lees-Melou, Belkebla; Del Castillo, Slimani, Honorat.

Troyes possible starting lineup:

Lis; Porozo, Palmer-Brown, Salmier; T Balde, Kouame, Chavalerin, Conte; Odobert, Rony Lopes, Mama Balde.

Expert Betting Tips

Troyes has generally looked better than Brest this season, but it's hard to predict this one. Although they pose a threat going forward, the visitors are also exposed at the back. However, Brest has had trouble scoring this entire season and has lost their last eight home games. Although it could go either way, the away team is expected to win.
