Team News

Brest
Lorient
  • Save Amavi and Dari -- neither of whom would have been likely to play, the hosts have a relatively empty treatment table.
  • Expect Éric Roy to name a first-choice eleven for a match which could see Brest end the season's first half as high as third, pending other results.
  • Gédéon Kalulu has been ruled out here, having missed Les Merlus' match at the weekend.
  • Fit-again Aiyegun Tosin is also an option in attack.
  • Dembo Sylla is fit again, but not likely to be included from the off.

Prediction

  • Between an historic start to the season and the fact that this is a bitter rivalry, expect a comfortable home win.
  • Lorient have looked at loose ends defensively of late, relying on Yvon Movogo to keep them from a heavier scoreline against Strasbourg on Sunday.
