Angers vs. Brest: French Championship Match Forecast
Angers and Brest will play their first match in 2025 as part of the 16th round of the French Ligue 1. There is no clear favorite in this confrontation, but bookmakers give preference to the guests of the upcoming match. Will everything really be like this? You will find the answer and trending bets in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Angers
FranceCurrent form
Angers still can't find their game. In 15 rounds played, the "black and whites" have won three times, drawn four times and suffered eight defeats. In all these meetings, they managed to score 14 goals and missed 26. Such indicators do not allow Alexandre Dujot charges to rise above the 15th line of the rating. Only by additional indicators the team is ahead of Saint-Etienne, which, by the way, is in the play-off zone.
What is noteworthy is that even on their home field, Angers lacks stability. Over the last five matches played in front of local fans, the hosts have lost three times, won once and tied once. Looking at such results, it is not surprising that bookmakers have little faith that the club from the city of the same name will take any points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kalumba and Sheriff are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Angers have lost their last two matches at home
- In three of the last five meetings, the hosts failed to even score
Estimated line-up: Fofana - Arkus, Bumla, Lefort, Khanin - Akhulu, Belkebla - Allevina, Abdelli, El Melali - Dieng.
Brest
FranceCurrent form
In the national championship, Brest has alternated victories and defeats over the last four rounds, but if you take into account participation in all tournaments, the Brentonians play better. In the last five matches, Eric Roy charges have won four victories. In Ligue 1, after 15 matches played, the team is not even in the top 10 (11th place), so if the team plays as it did with PSV in the Champions League (1:0), as well as with Strasbourg (3:1) and Nantes (4:1) in the national championship, then with a high degree of probability it will be possible to win and break into the top ten strongest clubs in the league.
Despite the quality performances in recent games, the "pirates" are not all right with the starting lineup. Among the significant losses, we can highlight Koulibaly and Loko, who will be very difficult to replace, but the upcoming opponent is not one of the famous top clubs, so the chances for a positive outcome are good.
Disqualifications and injuries
Li-Melu, Le Cardinal, Martin, Koulibaly and Loko will not appear on the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brest have won four of their last five matches
- The visitors have scored in their last five games
Estimated line-up: Bizot - Lala, N'Diaye, Chardonnay, Haidara - Magnetti, Fernandez, Camara - Del Castillo, Ajorque, Sima.

1.77Tip and bets
"Angers", despite the difficulties of the current season, demonstrates the ability to create dangerous moments and score goals even in games with opponents who have a stronger defensive line. "Brest" performs well in attack, but is not ideal in defense, and the fact that the team has conceded in eight of the last ten matches is a perfect example of this. We believe that the opponents will not park the "bus" at their gates, and either team will be able to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.92
Bet on the outcome
This season, Angers has only managed to beat Saint-Etienne on their home field, which is also fighting for survival. Brest is not ideal in away matches, and four defeats in the last five games confirm this. At the same time, the games were with teams much stronger than the upcoming opponent, so we will bet on the Bretons to win.
Our prediction is a victory for Brest with odds of 2.27
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that the opponents will sit in their penalty area for too long. We are expecting an active game, in which a considerable number of corner passes will be made between the two of them. We will make another bet on the over total on corners.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.65
