Lens will aim to secure a win on their home soil and extend their previous win to two games, while Brest will aim to prevent a defeat on the road following their winless streak of two games. Below, I will analyse previous results, overall performance, recent forms, and my betting opinion on how to place your bets.

Lens: Forms and Statistics

Lens secured their first win of the season in their last matchup against Le Havre, picking a 2-1 win in the closed match. In the match, they had 43% ball possession, 6 total shots, 3 shots on target and 2 big chances. However, they suffered a defeat against Lyon in their opening match of the season. During these games, they have scored two goals while conceding two. Lens have gained 3 points in 2 games, positioning them in 10th place in the league standings. Playing on their home soil, Lens will aim to secure a win and extend their previous win to two games.

They tied against Lille in their opening match of the season, while they suffered a defeat against Toulouse in their last matchup.

Brest Lineups

I expect Kamory Doumbia to perform and build on his opening scoring match of the season, having scored 2 goals, even though he was unable to find the net in their last matchup. Meanwhile, Bradley Locko and Brendan Chardonnet have not had their best defensive play in two of their opening match of the season, but in this match, I expect them to step up their play and improve in defence.

Lens vs Brest match Prediction 29 August 2025

Lens and Brest were battling with poor defensive units in their last matchup, in which both teams were able to concede against their opponents. Meanwhile, looking at their last five head-to-head games, resulting in both teams scoring against one another in three games, and since the home team will aim to secure a win on their home soil to extend their previous win to two games, while the visiting team will aim to secure their first win of the season to snap their winless streak of two games. Therefore, I expect both teams to find the net, while I will be rooting for more than two goals to be recorded. Moreso, since I expect both teams to display in front of the net, I expect a caution card to be given early in this match, since both teams will aim to see the net at all costs.
