Command Analysis
Brest
FranceCurrent form
Brest was one of the revelations in Ligue 1 last season. A modest team by the standards of the French championship, they took third place, behind only PSG and Monaco. Thus, the team will play in European competitions for the first time in its history, and immediately in the main tournament of the updated Champions League.
At the moment, the prospects of the Bretons performing at their last year's level are very vague. In the off-season, the "pirates" lost many of their leaders and at the moment they are performing completely unconvincingly. In Ligue 1, four rounds are behind them, in which Eric Roy's charges earned only three points, beating Saint-Etienne with a score of 4:0. In the three remaining matches, they recorded defeats. Regular failures in defense are alarming. They conceded five goals from Marseille (1:5), three goals from PSG in the last round (1:3). Ahead is the game against Sturm, which clearly uses its moments near the opponent's goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lees-Melu, Loko and Favre are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- In three of the last five matches, Brest lost in the first half
- At least three goals have been scored in four of the team's last five home league matches
- In their previous eight home matches in Ligue 1, Brest have won in the second half only once
Estimated composition : Bizot - Lala, Chardonnay, Le Cardinal, Amavi - Camara, Magnetti, Camblan - Del Castillo, Ajorque, Sima.
Sturm Graz
AustriaCurrent form
Last season, Sturm managed to break the hegemony of Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga, which had been the winner for 10 years in a row, and won the championship title. They managed to win largely due to a strong ending, when the Bulls began to make frequent mistakes. Thus, Christian Ilzer's charges received a ticket to the main round of the Champions League. It should be noted that the team last played in the group of the main European football tournament back in 2001.
In the new national championship, Sturm made it clear that last year's success was not a fluke. In five matches played, the team from Graz has collected 12 points, with which it leads the tournament table.
Among the players https://sksturm.at" target="_blank" rel="noopener">of "Sturm" we will note the system-forming Slovenian Tomi Horvat. The player can play in different positions in the center of the field, reads the game well and is a great help to his partners in the attack. Last season he had 10 accurate passes. We must not forget about the leader of the attack Kiteishvili, who is always ready to use any moment and hit the opponent's goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Borkovic and Sarkaria are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sturm has won five matches in a row
- Sturm have scored more than one goal in their previous five matches

2.65Tip and bets
The bookmakers' odds for the upcoming match raise questions. Brest is not currently demonstrating the same bright game that it showed last season, in fact, the team can only put down a confident victory over the modest Saint-Etienne as an asset. Plus, they will play in Guingamp. Sturm became the champion of Austria last season, retained almost all of its key players, the team clearly uses its chances in attack and at the moment is definitely not inferior to its opponent in terms of play. We believe that in this pair it is worth taking a risk and betting with a high coefficient on the underdog.
Our prediction is a victory for Sturm with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 3.00
Bet on total
Only in the game with Saint-Etienne did the hosts manage to play a clean sheet in defense. In the other matches, Brest consistently made mistakes in defense. Sturm is always ready to support open football, and the upcoming match is unlikely to be a dry one.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.88
Betting on yellow cards
It is worth noting that Sturm have not received more than two yellow cards in their last six away matches in the Champions League. It is worth checking these statistics, given the solid bookmakers' odds.
Betting Tip: total yellow cards for Sturm under 2.5 with odds of 2.10
