The French Ligue 1 returns for its third week of action with an intriguing fixture between Lens and Brest. This matchup pits two teams with reputations for open, attacking football against each other, setting the stage for a potentially high-scoring affair. Our Lens vs Brest match prediction is right below.
While Lens, known as Les Sang et Or, will be looking for their second win of the season, their opponents, Les Pirates, will be looking for their first after suffering a draw an loss in their opening two games. Given the offensive prowess on display from both sides in recent times, this game looks destined for goals.
We expect both teams to find the back of the net in this encounter. Historically, this has been a frequent outcome, with both teams scoring in five of their last seven head-to-head meetings. This pattern is reinforced by their more recent form, as both teams have scored in three of Brest’s last four games, and five of their last seven. They have also scored in four of their last six away league games, highlighting their consistent ability to be a threat on the road.
Meanwhile, Lens neatly bounced back with a 2-1 away win over Le Havre after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Lyon in their opening game.
