Stade Brestois and Stade Reims go head-to-head at the Stade Francis-Le Ble in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Samba Diawara’s visitors are winless in seven clashes since a 1-0 victory in January 2021.
Brestois returned to winning ways last Sunday, seeing off Angers 2-0 at the Stade Francis-Le Ble courtesy of goals in either half from Abdallah Sima and Romain Faivre.
Before that, Eric Roy’s side were on a six-game winless run, claiming two wins and losing four, including a 7-0 thrashing against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.
