Brest – Angers

Interesting game in the French League 2 with two teams with totally different objectives each trying to get points they badly need. The previous result between Angers and Brest was 2-1 for Angers at home.

Brest is on the 18th place at the moment in Ligue 2 so they are troubled by relegation, but they are in very good shape lately winning the last 3 games they played. However, the opponents were not top notch with Auxerre, CA Bastia and Laval all teams with relegation worries but it was a good job from Brest to keep a consistency and get 3 huge wins. The question fo this game is if Brest can also compete against one of the better sides in the league. Coulibaly and best scorer Verdier are key missings for Brest in this game.

Angers is on the 2rd place in the table, tied with 3rd placed Lens, and is also in very good form: undefeated in 11 games (5 wins, 6 draws). The visitors finished tied 1-1 with Troyes at home last round so they will be eager to get the three points at Brest in order to keep their top 3 place – Caen and Dijon are just 4 points away from taking their promoting position. Angers will miss some important players like Malicki, Moutou and Manceau.

Even if Brest is on a three match winning streak I doubt they have the power to subdue a much better side like Angers – especially missing top scorer Verdier. On the other hand the visitors’ momentul combined with Anger’s predispositions to drawing games (9 so far in Ligue 2) might just make a tied result more probable than the away win – and surely more probable than the home win. Angers is better than Brest but does not have enough strength to be a favorite on the road against decent teams. Considering the odds I will say that the draw gives the best betting value and I will tip Brest – Angers to finish undecided. Prediction: 1-1.
