Angers vs Brest Prediction and Betting Tips | January 5th 2025

Angers play host to Brest in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade Raymond Kopa this Sunday. Angers currently sit in 15th place and are only outside the drop zone on goal difference right now, meaning they could be in danger of heading back to Ligue 2.

Brest, meanwhile, are currently 11th, but could climb into eighth place with a win.

So which side will come away with the points this weekend?

Angers vs Brest Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Angers have a poor recent record against Brest, as they have lost four of their last six meetings across all competitions and have only won once. Their last meeting came in last season's Coupe de France, and saw Brest win despite being reduced to ten men.
• Angers ended 2024 in appalling fashion, as they lost four of their last five league fixtures and only scored three goals in the sequence. They did at least win their Coupe de France game against minnows B.B. Gagny, though.
• Brest, in contrast, signed off for the year with three wins in a row. They beat PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League on December 10, then beat Nantes 4-1 before overcoming La Roche in the Coupe de France.
• Brest's defense has been their big issue this season after their outstanding 2023-24 campaign. They have conceded 27 goals to date, with only the current bottom three letting in more.
• In contrast, Angers have found goals very hard to come by this season. They have scored just 14 goals, with just two sides - Saint-Etienne and Le Havre - scoring fewer to this point.

Angers vs Brest Prediction

Despite Angers having the home advantage in this match, it's hard to see them having too much success against a much stronger Brest team.

The away side haven't been too defensively sound this season, but in Angers, they're facing opponents who are highly toothless in front of goal.

Add in Angers' poor form before Christmas, in contrast to Brest's strong run, and it feels like an away win is the most likely outcome here.

Prediction: Angers 1-2 Brest
