Match Analysis

In recent matches, Toulouse has displayed a mixed form, with a win, a draw, and a loss in their last three games. They secured a convincing 4-0 victory against Angers away from home, but suffered a 2-1 defeat at Strasbourg and managed a 1-1 stalemate with Monaco at home. This inconsistency is mirrored in their advanced metrics, as they have only averaged 0.8 goals scored per game in their last five matches, while conceding 1.4 goals on average. Despite a relatively low expected goals figure of 1.166, they have managed one clean sheet in recent outings, indicating a potential for defensive resilience. Brest, on the other hand, comes into this match with a slightly better form, having achieved a win, a draw, and a loss in their last three games. They triumphed over Angers with a 2-0 scoreline and held Reims to a goalless draw at home but fell short in a 2-1 loss away to Lyon. Brest's advanced metrics suggest a more potent attacking threat, with an average of 1.2 goals scored in their last five matches and a promising expected goals figure of 1.828. Defensively, they have been more solid than their opponents, conceding only 0.6 goals on average and securing three clean sheets in their recent games.

Final Prediction

Toulouse's slight edge in this match prediction is largely due to their home advantage and the probability statistics favoring their victory. However, Brest's robust defensive record and higher expected goals metrics pose a significant challenge. A key factor to watch will be how Toulouse's attack can break down Brest's resilient defense, especially given Brest's ability to keep clean sheets and their recent defensive performances.
