Brest vs Lyon prediction and betting tips on January 11, 2025
Ligue 1 France
Game Prediction
In the 17th round of Ligue 1 France, on January 11, 2025, a match will be played between Brest and Lyon. The visitors are fighting for a spot in the top four and will aim for victory against an opponent that has fallen into the lower part of the table this season.
Our prediction for the Brest vs Lyon match
The "Pirates" were undoubtedly the revelation of last season in French football. The modest team, which had never achieved much before, managed to edge out Lille for third place in Ligue 1. They finished with 61 points, eight more than the "Weavers," who came sixth.
As a result, Éric Roy's men debuted in the Champions League, where they proved competitive, securing four wins and 13 points, with their only loss being a 0-3 defeat to Barcelona. Pierre Sage and his players achieved similar results (four wins, one draw, and one loss), albeit in the less prestigious Europa League.
Domestically, however, the home side has been unconvincing this season. Despite winning two of their last three matches, they remain mid-table. In 2025, they lost to Angers. For the visitors, after a difficult start, they went on an unbeaten streak that was only interrupted by PSG. They bounced back with a win over Montpellier.
