And three! Putting aside the setback in the Champions League last Wednesday, Stade Brestois has just achieved a third success in a row in the league. A first this season. And logically, this excellent dynamic of results coincides with the rise in the L1 ranking this winter, after a sluggish start. Here is the Finistère club installed in the first half of the table, in provisional 7th place. The fight for maintenance is fading away and, in the small game of projections, SB29 is only missing one small point to be assured of ending up at least a barrier. But in this case, it is more the European places that he can now consider.

2. Ajorque in scoring mode
He can't stop scoring: already a scorer during the two previous days, Ludovic Ajorque scored again this Sunday, in Le Havre, following a messed up ball in front of the Le Havre cage (25'). His 7th goal of the season in L1, which makes him the most prolific of Brestois (ahead of Del Castillo, 4 goals). Not always effective before the break despite his impeccable attitude, the Reunionese, who will celebrate his 31st birthday on February 25, seems to have found his cruising speed. Will he reach 16 goals, his best total in the elite with Strasbourg in 2020-2021? At this rate, nothing seems impossible for the tall striker (1.96 m), who is winning week after week at the forefront of Finistère.

3. Outside, things are (much) better
After bringing back the three points from Rennes, a week earlier, the Brestois applied the same rate in Normandy this Sunday. Better still, they dominated the debates, creating a multitude of opportunities from the start of the match at the Océane stadium. If they could (should?) have taken shelter before the break, Éric Roy's men have in any case shown a more serene face outside their bases for several weeks. Confirmation expected at the beginning of February with two “national” trips on the program: first to Troyes (4/02) during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, then to Nantes, in the championship, four days later.
