Brest meets Lens next in Ligue 1 as the two sides push on with their season’s targets. Hosts Brest will start this round placed 12th while Lens are second, well in the title challenge. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
Brest have been on a steady decline in the run up to these final rounds in Ligue 1. A four-game winless run ahead of this round has them at 12 points above the drop zone.
It isn’t to say they are in danger of relegation; Brest actually need a point from their remaining five games to ensure they stay up. They’ll be positive coming into this one after their 1-1 draw with Nantes ended their three-game losing streak.
Lens have picked up well lately and remain on course for a domestic double. They thrashed Toulouse 4-1 on Tuesday to proceed to the French Cup final.
In their last league match they had beaten the same opponent 3-2 to ensure they keep PSG within touching distance. Les Sang et Or are just four points behind the league leaders with 15 points to play for.
This is another opportunity to pile pressure on the leaders. Having won 14 of the last 15 matches against sides in the bottom half will give them confidence. Lens are, however, winless in three away league matches.

Our Brest vs Lens Prediction
Brest have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture in the last four meetings, losing all. In the last three, they lost by a 2+ goal margin. Ahead of this one, the hoists aren’t in their best shape, and with survival almost guaranteed, they won’t feel pressured to push Lens.
The visitors, on the other hand, will want to win to further keep their title ambitions alive. Lens are on a better run and have much more to play for. Our prediction for Brest v Lens is that Lens wins.
