Brest - Toulouse: Who will claim their first win of the new Ligue 1 season?
In the second round of Ligue 1, Brest will face Toulouse on Saturday, August 29. The match will kick off at 20:45 CET, and I have a betting tip for this game.
Brest - Toulouse: Match Preview
Brest will play their first home match of the season under new head coach Julien Lachuer. In their opening game of the season, the team drew 2-2 with newly promoted Ligue 1 side Le Mans. Before the new season, they played six friendly matches, winning only once. Last season, the team finished 12th in the table with 39 points.
Toulouse finished ninth in the table last season, collecting 45 points from 34 matches. They now travel to Brest looking to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat to Lyon in the opening round. The visitors can take confidence from their head-to-head record last season, as they beat Brest twice, with both matches ending 2-0. Before the season, Toulouse played five friendly matches, winning two, losing two and drawing one.
