Stade Brestois vs Olympique Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips

Two sides who have had contrasting starts to the Ligue 1 campaign square off on Saturday (September 23) as Stade Brestois host Olympique Lyon at the Stade Francis-Le Ble.

Brestois returned to winning ways on Sunday, edging out Stade Reims 2-1 at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II. Before that, Eric Roy’s men saw their two-game winning streak end with a 2-0 loss at Marseille on August 26, one week before drawing goalless with Stade Rennais.

With 10 points from five games, Brestois are second in points table, one point behind leaders AS Monaco.

Meanwhile, Lyon failed to get their season up and running last time out, as they played out a disappointing goalless draw at home with Le Havre.

Jean-Francois Vulliez's side are winless in nine games across competitions, losing six (including friendlies), since a 2-1 friendly win over De Treffers in July. With just two points, Lyon are 16th in the standings, just one point above rock-bottom Lens.
