Brest vs Metz Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

On the one hand, Brest has been falling for several weeks and remains in 6 games without a win, 3 draws, 3 defeats. A shortage that is a little more worrying for the Brestois who have been beaten in 3 of the last 4 meetings, including Marseille 3-0 in the last match. Before this new blunder, SB 29 held a draw at the start of the month against Lyon 0-0. In free fall in the rankings, he is virtually 15th and therefore at the gates of the red zone with the same total points as the virtual barrage.  On the other, Metz comes back to life.

The promoted team, bottom of the table for a good part of the start of the season, has since left the relegation zone and is ahead of the first relegation zone by one point. To do this, the Grenats remained efficient once their first victory was recorded, at the end of October, against Lens 2-0, 10th day. They then moved on to Nantes with the same score and made it three before the international break against a Nice team who had opened the score 2-1. 

Brest coach Eric Roy hopes to recover his attacking midfielder Doumbia (2 goals), unavailable for the last 4 matches. He was the only Brestois included in the medical bulletin until the trip to Marseille, where left back Locko (holder) was injured. This is also uncertain for the recovery. The prolific Del Castillo (4 goals) could continue in the position of number 10 behind an Ajorque silent over the last two months and only author of one goal in this 2025-2026 vintage. The promoted Metz is a priori traveling without the offensive star Habib Diallo (3 goals).

Scorer in the last 2 matches, the center forward was injured against Nice and gave up the rally with Senegal. Goalkeeper number 2 Sy and important defenders Ballo-Touré and Mboula are also in doubt. Having become Metz's top scorer before the international break, captain Hein (4 goals) participated in his team's remarkable return to form.
