2900
On Sunday night, Brest host Rennes at the Stade Francis-Le Ble in a Breton Derby that could significantly affect the visitor's chances of playing European football next season.
The home side is in the limbo of 14th place in the Ligue One table, with nothing much to play for but pride heading into gameweek 38.
Brest heads into this clash on an excellent run of league form, though, as they have won four of their last five matches in the French top flight. The stellar run of form has moved them away from the fight for top-flight survival.
Brest has been formidable on home soil of late in the French top flight, as they have recorded five straight Ligue One victories at the Stade Francis-Le Ble.
They have also conceded just one goal in their last four league games on home soil.
The visitor's kick-off gameweek 38 in fifth place in the Ligue One table, with their highest possible finish being fourth-place, as they trail fourth-place Lille by a point.
However, they are also only ahead of sixth-place Monaco, courtesy of a superior goal difference.
Rennes recent form has been strong, as they have won four of their last five matches in the French top flight while scoring at least two goals in each of the victories. They have also kept three straight clean sheets in Ligue One.
Despite their recent strong general league form, Bruno Genesio’s team’s recent away form has been inconsistent, as a 5-0 win at Ajaccio in their last away game in the league ended a three-game losing run on their travels in the French top-flight.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Rennes will continue their recent good league form by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter to seal European football for next season.
