Prediction
Given Brest’s solidity at home and Montpellier’s unpredictable defence, this game is set to be a cagey affair. Expect a tight first half, with both teams probing for weaknesses. Brest’s backline has conceded only one goal in their last three home matches, while Montpellier have struggled to convert their chances consistently on the road.
Our forecast is a 1-0 victory for Brest. We anticipate a late winner from a set-piece situation, with Cardona or midfield anchor Pierre Lees-Melou rising highest. If Montpellier fail to break the deadlock early, their mounting pressure could be their undoing. Ultimately, home advantage and defensive discipline tip the balance in favour of Brest.
