Brest vs Clermont Foot 63 Prediction: Under 2.5 goals in this game

Sunday's Ligue 1 match between Clermont Foot and Brest takes place at the Stade Francis Le Blé. Clermont Foot hopes to extend their undefeated streak to eight games. The Lancers have recently been on a roll, winning six and drawing one of their previous seven matches in the top division to move up to eighth place in the standings after starting this run in 13th.

With 38 points from 35 games, Brest is currently in 15th position. Even if it hasn't been proven yet, they now appear safe. However, the Pirates would be certain to stay in the top division if Nantes, who are five points below them in 17th place, were defeated in their upcoming match.

After losing three straight games, Roy's club was caught in a relegation battle not so long ago. Since then, though, they've won three times and drawn twice in six games to safely escape the danger zone.

This will be an intriguing game but expect under 2.5 goals with a potential win for the home game. 

When they entertain a Clermont Foot team hoping to finish in the top eight this season, Brest will be attempting to pull farther away from the relegation zone and almost guarantee safety in Ligue 1 for next season. Brest is five points above the bottom four, and a victory in this match would guarantee them a spot in the league for the next season.

It's been an unbelievable reversal in Brest's battle to survive this season after their 1-0 victory against Auxerre in their most recent match. They can now claim only one loss over the last eight games.

Brest has won 9 of the 35 games played with 9 draws and 15 losses. At home, Brest has won 6 of the 17 games played with 21 goals scored and 23 conceded. 

Currently, Clermont is in eighth place, one point in front of Lorient in ninth. Additionally, the team has six points to make up to Lyon in seventh place going into this match.

However, Clermont defeated Lyon in their most recent match, elevating them to the top spot in the league courtesy of their six victories in their previous seven matches and their lone tie with Auxerre.

Clermont Foot has won 15 of the 35 Ligue 1 games played but lost 12 games. 8 of the 35 games ended in a draw. of the 35 games played, Clermont Foot has scored 39 goals but conceded an amazing 45 goals. At home, Clermont Foot has won 8 games, drawn 3, and lost 7 of the 18 games played. 

In three Ligue 1 games versus Clermont Foot, Brest has won all three. The only other team the Bretons have met in the top division more times without losing is Evian. Clermont Foot is on a three-game losing streak on the road in Ligue 1 and is on pace to match their greatest unbroken road streak in the top division from September to October 2022.

Recently, Brest has displayed strength at home and will offer Clermont a tough challenge. In their own purple patch, the away side is the least favourite and may likely lose this game.  

With three victories in their past five games, Brest has found its identity just in time to secure a spot in Ligue 1 for the upcoming campaign. The host club is hoping for another strong defensive performance in this game. Brest has played four of its previous five games with fewer than three goals scored, which perfectly captures how this squad has played with the intention of achieving the primary goal. Generally, the guests are the league's third-best under 2.5 goals squad.

We expect a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline in favour of the home side.
