Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In a Ligue 1 showdown that could see chances come at a real premium this weekend, Brest will host Troyes on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, last seen earlier in the month when putting in another toothless display, Brest find themselves in the midst of what has become an extended struggle. In their 23 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, seven draws and nine defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 28, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 13th in the standings and four points adrift of break into the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen suffering a 2-0 loss away at Rennes, Brest have now lost four of their last five matchups across all formats. Likewise, along with drawing back-to-back blanks, it should also be highlighted that Sunday’s hosts have seen each of their last four fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, also enduring what has been a recent struggle, Troyes find themselves firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone. In their 23 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, six draws and 12 defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 31 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 21, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 16th in the table and holding just a one-point buffer from dropping into the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate against Metz on home soil, Troyes have managed to win just one of their last eight contests across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, with Sunday’s guests seeing five of their last six fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
