Brest vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

Stade Brestois comes out of a draw rich in goals in Saint-Etienne 3-3, a match in which he scored all his achievements in the first period. The Finistérien club, which remained on victories in Toulouse 2-4 and ahead of Monaco 2-1, thus bears its 5-game invincibility series. A series allowing him to scratch positions in the ranking in recent weeks. The SB29 is 8th at 4 points from the 7th, which will compete in the access roads to the league conference if PSG, already crowned champion, raised the French Cup next month. 9th 2 lengths from his opponent of the day, Lens did not draw a line on a qualification in the European Cup.

The blood and gold, however, badly negotiated the return of the championship after the international break. While they thought they had made their defeat in the Lille 1-0 derby forgotten by defeating Saint-Etienne 1-0, Will Still's players were surprised at home, in the last match, by a team of Reims candidate for 0-2 maintenance. A poor performance that will not reassure the Lensois supporters 5 games from the outcome of the season. 

Brest remains of the longtime absent Lockko who has hoped to make his return before the end of the exercise, the winger Salah (replacement), the winter recruit Bourgault (left side) and the central Coulibaly. Also absent in Saint-Etienne, the offensive Faivre (3 goals in Ligue 1) and the Fernandes medium remain uncertain. The suspension of Lala, usually titular on the right side of the defense, will not help Eric Roy. Ajorque (12 goals in Ligue 1) found the way to the nets against Saint-Etienne. The attacker went there with his double but was hit with a knee. His participation in this 30th day match is therefore not guaranteed.  Lens must manage several bad news.

While the executive El Aynaoui (middle) is back from suspension, the left side Haïdara, who was to serve the same sanction this Sunday, was injured against Reims and should miss several meetings. An absence that should force Will Still to review his plans. The Bah's defensive recruit also gave up its place prematurely in the last match. The central could complement a list of absents that Labeau Lascary, Chavez, Petric, Satriano already garnish. Essential on the right side, the Aguilar piston is hoped for after giving up the reception of Reims.
