Before welcoming OL, Brest got its season off to a good start

Second in the standings after five matches, Stade Brestois has continued to surprise since the resumption in Ligue 1. OL have been warned.

OL would do well to be wary before traveling to Breton lands on Saturday (9 p.m.) for the 6th day of Ligue 1. Fabio’s players Grosso challenge Brest, surprising team since the start of the new financial year version 2023-2024. Eric’s flock Roy currently occupy 2nd place in the ranking after five matches with 10 units on the clock. The Finistère club also won three of its first five matches (1 draw, 1 defeat) for the first time in its history in 18 seasons in the French elite.

Brest used to reversing the course of a match

But, this is not the only statistic which testifies to the good start of the Breton club. Romain Del Castillo’s (ex-OL) teammates have the custom of conceding the first goal of the game before beating his opponent. In fact, it happened twice: the first time against Lens (3-2) and a second against Reims stadium last weekend (2-1). Brest has therefore collected six points since the start of the season after conceding the opener.

In addition, the Breton team won its 11th championship match in 2023, one more than in the 2022 calendar year (10). Suffice to say that OL will have a lot to do this weekend while the club led by John Weaver is looking for its first championship success.
