Team News

Brest
  • Brest have a number of concerns ahead of the visit of Montpellier.
  • Larsen Toure is out with a thigh problem, while Benoit Lesoimier and Ahmed Kantari are both suspended.
  • Alexandre Alphonse is still unavailable due to an achilles problem, and Adama Ba has a back injury.
Montpellier
  • Montpellier boss Rene Girard has a host of injury problems to contend with.
  • Garry Bocaly is out with a hip complaint, while Jamel Saihi is unavailable due to a knee problem.
  • Lauren Pionnier is still absent with a groin injury, and Joris Marveaux misses out with an injury to his thigh.
  • Benjamin Stambouli is also sidelined due to a foot injury, while Cyril Jeunechamp is still suspended.

Prediction

  • Brest take on Montpellier at the Stade Francis Le-Ble, and should be full of confidence after coming from behind to snatch a point against Brittany rivals Rennes last weekend.
  • A late goal from Charlison Benschop was enough to give Landry Chauvin's men a share of the spoils, but one of the influential players in that game, Benoit Lesoimier - who scored a goal and notched an assist - is set to miss the encounter due to suspension.
  • The Bretons do have a number of absentees, but they face a Montpellier side that could well be vulnerable after suffering a multitude of injuries ton their midfield.
  • Still, despite their wide array of fitness concerns, La Palliade were excellent in their win over Ajaccio at the weekend, and it should not be a surprise if Rene Girard's side are able to overcome Brest and their vociferous home crowd to earn another three points.
