Brest vs Toulouse Prediction & Betting Tips (22 September)

A big sensation last season, Stade Brestois greatly surprised its supporters as well as all observers by finishing on the 3rd step of the podium in the spring. This major performance allowed the Bretons to be able to afford their first European ticket in their history and not just any, that for the Champions League. They will also face Sturm Graz on Thursday evening in Roudourou for their entry into the competition. The Ti-Zef did not arrive particularly confidently for this poster after a rather delicate start to the season marked by 3 defeats during the first 4 days. Beaten from the start by OM 1-5 and by Lens 2-0, the Finisterians were then able to react by crushing Saint-Etienne 4-0. But last week, they suffered another setback on the PSG field 3-1.

Noted last year for its European journey during which it was able to win against Liverpool, Toulouse dispatched current affairs by validating without too much of problem its maintenance thanks to its 11th place in the ranking. This year, the TFC will undoubtedly want to do at least as well and even, why not, aim for a place in the first part of the table. The first days had not been particularly brilliant for the Violets who had been held by Nantes 0-0 and Nice 1-1 before falling at home against Marseille 1-3. But last Sunday, they won their first success of this new year by winning against Le Havre 2-0.

Obviously, Eric Roy must always take into account the serious injury of his left side Bradley Locko, affected by a ruptured Achilles tendon, and his essential midfielder Pierre-Lees Melou, who is still in the recovery phase. Spared last week during the trip to the Parc des Princes, the returning Faivre should this time be operational. Up front, the Brestois can rely on their center forward Ajorque who unlocked his counter during the reception of Saint-Etienne. The very good Del Castillo and the excellent midfielder Camara have each scored two goals at the start of the season. Suspended during the reception at Le Havre last week, Cameroonian striker Frank Magri will be back for this poster.

Consequently, coach Carles Martinez should be able to count on all of his strength for this trip to Francis-Le-Blé. Recruited this summer, the Norwegian striker versatile Joshua King (Fenerbahce) has not yet found the net unlike former Rennais Gboho, author of a very good goal last week against Le Havre. But the man in form at the start of the season is none other than the Gabonese supersub Babicka who has already scored 3 times this season, each time coming off the bench.
