Michel Der Zakarian knows how to set up an attacking game, and Brest could make an excellent team this season. The club has kept Franck Honorat for now and has also signed the promising Karamoko Dembele. Brest was passive in the transfer market for almost a month, but the day before, they managed to acquire Islam Slimani. The Algerian broke his contract with Sporting Lisbon to join the French club. The league campaign so far is going well with 4 points from three rounds and 8th position in the standings. Steve Mounié remains in the injured reserves, and Romain Del Castillo and Noah Fadiga cannot play against Montpellier.
In the Ligue 1 round before last, the team looked decent against Marseille and drew 1:1. Brest could have scored the 2nd goal against Provence, but their performance was disappointing. The day before, they got a 3:1 win away to Angers. At the beginning of the meeting, Brest nearly missed a goal through a silly mistake of the defender, and then Jérémy Le Douaron put his team in front.
Montpellier
At the end of last season, the team was losing to everyone. After beating Troyes in the opening round, Montpellier lost twice in a row, dropping to 13th. The club picked up two key players from Ligue 2 relegation Saint-Etienne in the off-season and is now looking to strengthen their defense by signing Christopher Jullien.
Montpellier lost 1:2 at home to Auxerre in the last Ligue 1 round. Overall, they attacked well and even scored first. A silly mistake by the goalkeeper leveled the score, and then they fouled in their net. The only good thing was the statistics: the team took 13 shots on goal, hitting the net seven times.
Expert Betting Tips
The matches between Brest and Montpellier have been productive of late, and in their last meeting in private, the spectators could see more than 1 goal. The hosts strengthened their attack with the signing of Slimani, while they already had good attacking players. The opponents have a lot of problems at the moment. Replacing the suspended Savanier will be difficult. Nevertheless, they played well in attack in the last round, and the same goes for Brest.
