Brest vs Clermont
French Ligue 1
Date: 1 May 2022, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: Stade Francis-Le Ble.
Brest will be searching for their third consecutive Ligue 1 win on Sunday afternoon when they play host to Clermont in Gameweek 35.
Michel Der Zakarian’s men backed up the huge 2-1 win over Lyon by easing past the rock-bottomed Metz seven days ago.
The scoreline form Stade Saint-Symphorien may not suggest so (Brest won 0-1) but Brest completely controlled the happenings on the pitch.
Youcef Belalli made the difference by netting the only goal of the game midway through the first half, the maiden goal in Brest’s shirt for the Algerian forward.
Brest moved up to the eleventh place in the Ligue 1 table after the mentioned wins. They will have a nice chance to make it three on the trot here against Clermont who desperately need points in the battle for avoiding relegation.
Clermont have been playing hot and cold ever since the beginning of the season and their performances seem to be coming in streaks.
Luckily for their fans, Pascal Gastien’s troops currently seem to be on a positive streak. They took five out of nine possible points from the previous three league affairs.
Clermont thus rescued a point after going 0-2 down in the last weekend’s meeting with Angers at their Stade Gabriel Montpied.
Gastien’s troops will base their optimism ahead of this tie on the fact they have lost only two of the last six Ligue 1 matches on the road.
