Brest face off with Lyon in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade Francis-Le Ble this Saturday.
Brest currently sit in 12th position in the table, with their good European form making up for a patchy run in Ligue 1 thus far. Lyon, meanwhile, have recovered from a poor start to climb the table, and could climb into the top three with a win here.
So which of these sides will come out on top this weekend?
Brest vs Lyon Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Brest and Lyon have a relatively even record against one another in recent years. In their last six meetings, both teams have won twice, with the other two games ending in draws. Interestingly, their last clash saw Lyon beat Brest 4-3, with both teams being reduced to ten men.
- After ending 2024 by thrashing Nantes 4-1 and progressing in the Coupe de France, Brest could not have gotten off to a much worse start in 2025. They were beaten last weekend by struggling Angers in humiliating fashion, suffering a humbling 2-0 defeat.
- Lyon, on the other hand, recovered from a loss to Paris St. Germain by beating Montpellier 1-0. The win meant that their defeat to the reigning champions remains their lone one in a sequence of eleven games.
- While Brest have only scored four fewer goals than their opponents this weekend, keeping the ball out of the net has been their bigger issue. They have conceded 29 goals to date, meaning only three sides have a worse defensive record.
- Lyon, in contrast, have boasted a solid defence. Ignoring their 3-1 loss to Paris St. Germain, they have conceded just six goals since September 29.

Brest vs Lyon
Despite their impressive form in the UEFA Champions League, Brest's inconsistencies were well on display last weekend. Nobody expected them to lose to Angers and yet they slumped to a disappointing defeat.
Eric Roy's side do have the ability to match anyone on their day, but right now, they just don't appear to be in good form, which is a contrast to Lyon.
Not only have Lyon shown a tighter defence than their opponents here, but they also have a number of dangerous attackers who could be hard for Brest to stop.
With all of this considered, the pick here is an away win.
