Angers and Brest will face off in Ligue 1 in the teams’ respective opening game of the year. Going into the Sunday game, hosts Angers are a point above the automatic relegation zone, in 15th and Brest a further four spots ahead. Let’s look at the prediction for this match.

Following a difficult first half of the season, Angers will come into 2025 targeting to stay up. This is their first chance to put some distance between them and the sides below.

Having the lowest points tally at home in the entire Ligue 1 won’t pass as the best assessment for Angers. Their latest league run reads four losses in five matches.

Brest had a tough start to the season after doing well last term, but improved towards the end of 2024. Coming here, they are on three straight wins across all competitions. In their last five matches they posted four wins and a loss.

The most recent of them was a 1-0 away win at La Roche in the French Cup. That also marked their second clean sheet in three games, and they scored in each of their last five outings.

This win was a welcome one after struggling on the road. They wouldn’t put much thought on their recent away losses though, having faced Monaco, Barcelona and Lille in succession.
