For its last meeting of the first leg, Stade Brestois hosts Olympique Lyonnais, the only team in the championship that it has not yet faced this season. Six days after a failed start to 2025 in Angers (2-0), the Rouge et Blanc hope to capitalize at home against an ambitious Rhone team.
The Brest infirmary always well stocked
For the second of their seven matches scheduled for January, Éric Roy’s men are still deprived of numerous elements, namely Pierre Lees-Melou, Julien Le Cardinal, Soumaïla Coulibaly, Jonas Martin and Bradley Locko. The SB29 coach should therefore rely on the same defensive line as in Angers.
Up front, Éric Roy could be tempted to shake up the attack line seen at Raymond-Kopa. And thus trust Mathias Pereira Lage and Mama Baldé on the wings, rather than Abdallah Sima and Romain Del Castillo, disappointing in Angers.
