Lorient vs Brest predictions and betting tips headline Monday’s Ligue 1 action as Lorient host local rivals Brest in a Breton derby at the Stade du Moustoir on Monday 2 November, kick-off 7.45pm (UK time).

There is little between these two in the table, but Lorient have quietly built their season on a mean defence, keeping five clean sheets in eight games and both of their home league wins have come by a 1-0 scoreline. Anthony Eadson expects another cagey night on home soil.

Brest travel as one of four Ligue 1 sides yet to keep a clean sheet, though they have still found the net 14 times. Recent history in this derby belongs to the visitors, which adds a layer of needle to a game Lorient are narrowly favoured to win.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson keeps it simple with two Premium Tips built around Lorient’s defensive steel.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Under 9.5 total corners8/11 (BoyleSports)Corners have been in short supply in Lorient’s games. Their eight league matches have averaged 8.8 corners, five of them finished with nine or fewer, and three of their four home games ended with just seven. Lorient have forced only 25 corners all season, barely three a game, because they rarely commit bodies forward. A derby with plenty at stake is more likely to be a war of attrition than an open contest, so the under on a 9.5 corner line looks the sensible play at 8/11.
Lorient to win to nil10/3 (Sky Bet)Lorient have kept five clean sheets in eight league games and both of their home wins have arrived by a 1-0 scoreline, over Monaco and Paris FC. They have conceded just six goals all season, and only four at home, so shutting Brest out is well within range. Brest score goals but are one of four Ligue 1 sides yet to keep a clean sheet and can be opened up at the other end, so a repeat of those narrow home victories at 10/3 carries plenty of appeal on a night that suits the hosts’ game plan.

How Lorient go into the game

Lorient are ninth in Ligue 1 on 12 points and have made themselves hard to beat, keeping five clean sheets in eight games despite scoring only seven times.

Last time out they were held to a 0-0 draw away at Angers, a fifth clean sheet that summed up their defence-first campaign. At home they have won two and drawn one of four, with both wins arriving by a 1-0 scoreline over Monaco and Paris FC.

How Brest go into the game

Brest sit 13th on nine points and are one of four Ligue 1 sides yet to keep a clean sheet, though 14 goals scored shows they are far from toothless.

Last time out they lost 2-1 at home to Nice, and on the road they have a win, two draws and a defeat, with six goals scored and six conceded. A 5-1 home win over Angers underlines their attacking potential when it clicks.

Recent meetings have gone Brest’s way, with the visitors winning three of the last five against a single Lorient victory and one draw. The hosts will point to their home advantage and defensive record, but they know this is a fixture that has not been kind to them lately.

Lorient vs Brest score prediction
