Stade Brest vs Toulouse Prediction: Brest should win comfortably

Stade Brest will welcome Toulouse to the Stade Francis-Le Ble for game 8. Lille will be pleased with their start to the campaign so far. Their fine form has seen them collect equal points with league leaders; Monaco, while occupying the second spot. They will be hoping to continue that fine form against bottom-side Toulouse. Toulouse have had a rough start to the campaign as they managed only 2 wins in the 7 games they have played.

Stade Brest

Stade Brest might be in for another fruitful evening against Toulouse as they are the better team based on form comparison. Brest have started the season well, recording 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. They are currently unbeaten in their last 4 games in a row after their goalless draw with Nice last weekend.

Brest have a chance to climb up the table if they can win and Marseille drop points in their own game. Brest have not lost to Toulouse since 2013, when Toulouse beat them by a single goal. Their last meeting ended in a 3-1 win for Brest. Steve Mounie, Jeremy Le Douaron and Mahdi Camara all scored in that game.

Stade Brest are 2nd on the MLS table with 14 points from 7 games and a goal aggregate of 2.

Streaks

• No losses in 4 games.
• Less than 2.5 goals in 4/5 games.
• Less than 4.5 cards in 5/6 games.
• More than 10.5 corners in 4/5 games.

Toulouse

Toulouse will be hoping for a similar result like their last game against Metz FC, but it won’t come easy. Toulouse have won only 2 games this season, losing 2 and drawing 3 games. They broke their 5 match winless streak with a 3-0 win against Metz FC in their last game. Niklas Schmidt, Thijs Dalinga and Frank Magri all scored to give Toulouse the win in that game.

Toulouse will now face a difficult opponent, who is in very good form and they will be hoping they can snatch a win. The last time Toulouse beat Stade Brest was back in 2013. Adrien Rabiot scored the winning goal on the brink of halftime and Toulouse went on to win. Since that win, they have lost 2 and drawn 2 games against Brest. The most recent match ended in a 3-1 defeat away from home. Thijs Dallinga gave them the opening goal in just 10 minutes, but they conceded 3 goals and lost Anthony Rouault to a red card in the 83rd minute.

Toulouse are 11th with 9 points on the Ligue 1 table.

Streaks

• First to score in 4/5 games.
• Less than 4.5 cards in 7/9 games.
• Less than 10.5 corners in 6/7 games.

Analysis and Prediction

It would not be a surprise to see Stade Brest win against Toulouse. Toulouse are in better form and they are playing at home. Toulouse will try to minimize the access of the Stade Brest attack, but they would not hold on for too long. I expect Brest to breach through and grab a few goals in this game. Either way, a win for Brest is surely the way to go.
