Orleans Insider Soccer Info:

Head to Head:
This is the first meeting between the sides in Brest.
MATCH PREVIEW:
Brest’s flagging promotion hopes got an incredible boost on Monday night when an injury-time own goal earned them a 2:1 win at Angers. You'll be able to argue concerning whether Brest deserved the victory at the tip of what was a reasonably even contest but Alex Dupont’s facet deserve credit for taking a additional positive approach than they have in many away games this season. By encouraging players to urge forward they put the Angers defence below pressure on many different occasions throughout the game and eventually their positive approach paid off.
Orleans’ chances of obtaining something out of this game are heavily linked to the availability of their creator-in-chief Loic Puyo. If Puyo is missing then Orleans’ possibilities of getting a win or draw can be severely compromised – but even if Puyo is work enough to start out I’m backing Brest to collect all 3pts as a result of their players will be on a high after that win over Angers and determined to create it 2 wins from two here.
Expect Home Victory
