Preview: Brest vs Strasbourg – prediction, team news, lineups & more related news here

Only pride will be at stake at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Wednesday, when Strasbourg play their final away game of the Ligue 1 campaign against Brest.

The Breton club was beaten 1-0 by Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday and remains in 12th place, nine points behind Strasbourg, which is seventh, and drew 1-1 with Angers.

Match preview

For more than 80 minutes, they defended themselves against the powerful PSG, but in the end they could not find a decisive breakthrough.

That’s been a recurring theme for Brest lately, with this team scoring a goal or less in three of their last four games and going goalless in the previous two.

Their domestic winless streak is seven games, although they have only suffered one defeat at home since February (4-3 against Rennes).

In 2026, they found the back of the net in every match played at the Stade Francis-Le Ble except one, when Toulouse beat them 2-0 at the end of January.

A defeat on Wednesday would give Eric Roy’s men one more than they have suffered in the entire 2024-25 national campaign (14).

Stade Brestois are unbeaten in their previous three home games against Strasbourg, having won this exact match last season 3-1.

Last week was a difficult one for Strasbourg, who saw their Conference League dreams dashed by Rayo Vallecano in the semi-finals, while their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season ended on Sunday.

A win on Wednesday would ensure they surpass the 50-point mark for the second consecutive campaign, while also giving them a third consecutive victory in this competition.

Gary O’Neil’s men have failed to emerge victorious from their previous two league games by scoring the first goal, dropping seven points this year in doing so.

The Alsace club have scored a combined six goals in their last two away games in the top flight, double the number they had scored in their previous three away games.

They have earned points in three of their last four Ligue 1 away games when they conceded first, winning the previous two 3-2.

Le Racing have dropped points in three of their four previous top-flight meetings against clubs from Brittany, but won the last match 3-2 in Lorient in April.

Kenny Lala is eligible to return from suspension, having missed the narrow defeat to Les Parisiens in the French capital on Sunday.

A torn cruciate ligament will keep Joaquin Panichelli on the sidelines for Strasbourg for the rest of the season, Emmanuel Emgha has leg pain, while Aaron Anselmino is doubtful with a hamstring strain.

Julio Enciso converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time on Sunday, which was all they could manage against Angers.

Possible Strasbourg starting lineup:

earrings; Doue, Hogsberg, Chilwell; Enciso, Oyedele, Luis, Ouattara; Amo-Ameyaw, Moreira, Godo

We say: Brest 2-1 Strasbourg

Brest have been strong at home all year and we think they could take advantage of a deflated Strasbourg, who have fallen short in their bid to lift a couple of trophies this season.
