The ambition is still there, but to hope to rise to the podium, the LOSC must count on missteps and ensure its last two meetings. The first is none other than a trip to Brest scheduled for this Saturday.
Balled by Olympique de Marseille last Sunday (1-1), within the Decathlon Arena-Pierre Mauroy stadium, the LOSC was held back in its race and no longer has its destiny in its hands. Fifth in the championship with 57 points on the clock, the Lille club is preceded by OM (2nd, 59 pts), AS Monaco (3rd, 58 pts) and the OGC Nice (4th, 57 pts). To hope to reach the podium, there is no other option than to pocket two successes, including a first in Brest. The DOGUES travel to Brittany for a match scheduled this Saturday at 9 p.m.
To follow this counting part for the 33rd day of Ligue 1, it will be necessary to connect to the antennas of DAZNwhether through its application, its site or the streaming platform My Canal.

Eighth best referee of the 2023-2024 season, he will be assisted by Aurélien Drouet et Cédric Favre. The fourth referee will be Faouzi Benchabanewhile Alexandre Castro et Christian
Guillard Officer on the side of video assistance to arbitration (Var).
History of recent meetings
Unable to win its last three games, Stade Brestois returned to success by overcoming Montpellier HSc (1-0) during the 32nd day of Ligue 1. Despite the harsh adversity, a podium candidate, Bretons can rely on statistics favorable when approaching this part. The latter have won three of their last five games at the Francis Stade Le Blé (1 draw and 1 defeat). Better still, they won 9 home games in Ligue 1 this season (3N 4D), its highest total since 1989-1990 (13).
This data is just as positive when the LOSC travels to Brest, where its men have won none of their last four games (2 defeats, 2 draws). The catch is called Éric Roy, however, since the DOGUES are the opponent he met most without ever knowing the victory (3 draws, 4 defeats).

Summary of the last meeting
In March, a little over a year ago, LOSC moved to Brittany during the 26th day of Ligue 1 in order to face the pirates of the Brest stadium, crew of valiant corsairs ready to sink the slightest galleon. This desire, the DOGUES had managed to thwart it, first resistant to Breton assaults while counting on their amounts – as on a strike from Romain Del Castillo in the first period – before taking the game on their own. The mastery was then Lille in the second period and the numerous opportunities. Marco Bizot had long delayed the deadline. Jonathan David ended up breaking the lock (67 ′). He thought he could offer victory to his family, but that was without counting on a late equalization (80 ′).
Unable to change the pace again at the end of the match, the LOSC had been forced to satisfy this zero result (1-1) in Brittany. This was a disappointing result in the face of a direct competitor, all the more in view of the proposed scenario.
