⚽ Ligue 1 - Round 5 Preview

⏰ 16:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stade Francis-Le Blé (Brest)

Brest marked a historic moment in European football with a 2-1 victory over Sturm Graz in Guingamp, their first-ever UEFA Champions League win. However, their domestic form remains a concern, having won only one Ligue 1 match this season while conceding ten goals. Despite their strong 4-0 home win against Saint-Étienne last month, Brest’s home performances have been inconsistent, managing just one victory in their last five home games against Toulouse (D3, L1).

Toulouse, meanwhile, enter the match on a positive note, having secured their first league victory of the season with a 2-0 win over Le Havre. Head coach Carles Martínez Novell, who recently signed a contract extension, will be aiming for back-to-back victories—a feat Toulouse hasn’t achieved since early 2024. The Violets have shown great resilience on the road, losing just one of their last nine Ligue 1 away games, and remain unbeaten in their last four despite conceding first in each match (W3, D1).

💡 Brest vs Toulouse Prediction

Both teams enter this clash with mixed fortunes, but Toulouse’s superior away form gives them an edge. Brest’s home inconsistencies, especially in defense, could be their downfall, despite their strong start in European competition. Expect a tight contest with Toulouse’s resilience on the road and Brest’s need to balance their European commitments, making it a close game. A late goal could make the difference, especially with players like Gboho in form. A 1-1 draw or a 2-1 win for Toulouse seems likely, with both teams finding the net.
