Brest - Sturm Graz: Form Analysis

After their stunning performance in Ligue 1 last season, the 2024-25 campaign has not begun as Brest would have hoped, as they are currently languishing in 14th place after the first four gameweeks. 

The Pirates are currently on three points, courtesy of a 4-0 win over newly promoted Saint-Etienne, while they’ve lost their remaining three games against Marseille (5-1), Lens (2-0) and most recently PSG (3-1) last weekend. 

Brest have already conceded 10 goals this season, which is the second most in the French top flight!

Additionally, while the hosts only lost three of their 17 home games last term, they enter this contest with just one victory in their last five games at Stade du Roudourou (W1 D2 L2). 

Meanwhile, Sturm Graz pulled off a memorable feat last term, as they clinched the Austrian Bundesliga for the first time since 2010-11 and also brought an end to RB Salzburg's decade-long stranglehold on the title. 

This season, after suffering a tough loss to Rapid Vienna in gameweek one, the Blackies have found their rhythm and enter this contest following four league wins in a row, scoring two or more goals in each of those victories. 

The visitors maintained a solid away record last term, losing only once in 16 games and ending the campaign unbeaten in their final 10 matches on the road, including five wins and five draws.

Brest & Sturm Graz Squad Analysis

Eric Roy has three confirmed absentees for this opening-round matchup with Romain Faivre (ankle), Bradley Locko (Achilles) and Pierre Lees-Melou (leg) all set to miss out due to injuries. 

Mama Balde has yet to make his first start for the Pirates since arriving from Lyon in the summer and will be hoping to do so in this match, potentially in place of Ludovic Ajorque, who has not opened his account as yet this season. 

Alexandar Borkovic is likely ruled out for the rest of the season due to a cruciate ligament tear!

Aside from Borkovic, Christian Ilzer will also have to make do without the services of Manprit Sarkaria, who picked up a knock in the season-opener away to Rapid Vienna last month. 

Mika Biereth, signed from Arsenal’s Under-21s during the summer, has made an impressive start to life in Austria, netting twice in his last first four games, and should continue to lead the line in this one.
