Lorient vs Brest: prediction, team news, lineups

The Breton derby was moved from Saturday to Monday night at the request of the authorities, and Brest supporters are banned from travelling to Lorient. On the pitch, Alexandre Dujeux's Lorient arrive in good shape. They have beaten Paris FC and Monaco 1-0 at home and drawn 0-0 at Angers, and they are unbeaten in three league games without conceding. That leaves them in mid-table on 12 points from eight games, with six goals conceded, one of the best defensive records in the league. Julien Lachuer's Brest are 14th on nine points. Their games tend to be open: they have scored 14 league goals but have conceded in all eight matches, most recently in a 2-1 home defeat to Nice.
