• Bookmakers have this as close to a coin toss as the 1X2 market gets. Lorient is the shortest price on a book of 2.54 / 3.31 / 2.99 (1 / X / 2), an implied 38.2%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 38.2% / 29.3% / 32.5% on an overround of 3.0%.

• The draw is unusually well backed at 3.31 (29.3%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

• In the league table Lorient sit 10th on 12 points (3W 3D 2L) with Brest 13th on 9 points (2W 3D 3L).

• Lorient read D-W-W-L-D-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 2D 1L) — patchy.

• Brest read L-D-W-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 1D 3L) — more bad than good.

• Head to head the record reads 0-1-1 — Lorient wins, draws, then Brest wins. Their last meeting finished Brest - Lorient: 2-0.
