Brest vs Angers Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

Stade Brestois only has the championship to play for, in the hope of carrying out its maintenance operation there. Eric Roy's players were eliminated on Sunday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by Lens 1-3, whose steamroller hit the mark in one period. They return to the championship this weekend with the ambition of leaving the red zone, which they occupy in first position 17th.

The Brestois are however a little better since the recovery. After being outplayed by Lyon 2-4 and Monaco 1-0 between 2022 and 2023, they held LOSC 0-0 at home and Toulouse 1-1 away.

The SB29 still has to deal with packages, those of the decisive Del Castillo (4 goals), the former Angevin Pereira Lage (1 goal) and the titular central defender Chardonnet were already relevant. These Brestois were joined in the infirmary by right-back Fadiga (holder), victim of a physical glitch. The boss Bizot finds his place in goal after seeing his lining Blazquez concede 3 achievements against Lens in the Coupe de France. Mounié, double scorer since the recovery, is in balance with Slimani, who scored in the Coupe de France, to occupy the forefront of the attack. Note that the former Strasbourg Lala (right side) has come to strengthen the defensive line in recent weeks when substitutes Uronen (Schalke) and Cardona (Augsburg) joined the Bundesliga. On the Angevin side, the packages are still very numerous. The long-time injured Eneme-Ella (no game) and Diony (2 goals) continue their recovery and the captain Capelle (midfielder) is suspended.

Goalkeeper Fofana (potential starter), substitutes El Melali, Bamba and Sabanovic complete the list of absentees for the day but the experienced Amadou (defender), back from injury, and the weak striker Sima (1 goal) are uncertain. The Moroccan international Boufal (4 goals), preserved in the Coupe de France, returns to business while his compatriot Ounahi, a midfield manager and who is also coming out of a very big World Cup, is about to sign for the OM. Thus, it will certainly be necessary to do without him in Brittany. Lacking playing time, Bobichon (Laval) and Jakolis (AEK Larnaca) have found a new challenge this winter. On the other hand, no reinforcements were recorded.
