Looking to maintain their 100% home record in Ligue 1<\/a> this month, Brest<\/a> will welcome Marseille<\/a> to Stade Francis-Le Ble on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Brittany club are 12th in the table after earning a 1-1 draw with Lille last weekend, while OM settled for a 2-2 result at home to Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Match preview<\/h2>\n

Three matches into February, and Brest appear to be trending in the right direction, without a domestic defeat this month.<\/p>\n

That said, last week they failed to win for a second time in the league this year when leading in the second half, dropping a combined four points as a result.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Eric Roy<\/a>\u2019s men could claim consecutive home league triumphs for the first time in 2026 after blanking rivals Lorient earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Stade Brestois have gone on to win their last four home matches in this competition when netting multiple goals, without a single league defeat in that scenario all season.<\/p>\n

At the same time, a win or draw on Friday would stretch their unbeaten run domestically to four matches, equalling their longest streak without a defeat in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

Les Pirates have points in two of their previous three Ligue 1 home meetings versus OM, with their last such victory against them coming in February 2024 (1-0).<\/p>\n

We witnessed another disappointing result for Marseille last Saturday, as they got no love from Strasbourg on Valentine\u2019s Day at Stade Velodrome.<\/p>\n

This team have now dropped points in three successive top-flight affairs, with last week\u2019s draw being their first and only match under Jacques Abardonado<\/a>, after Roberto De Zerbi<\/a> departed the club.<\/p>\n

Habib Beye<\/a> is now in charge of the team, having been appointed officially on Wednesday shortly after being sacked by Rennes.<\/p>\n

Les Olympiens are winless in their previous two away games in this competition, conceding a total of seven goals over that stretch, as many as they had allowed in a combined seven league matches played outside Stade Velodrome before that.<\/p>\n

A defeat on Friday would equal their longest losing run away from home in the top-flight this season, after they were beaten in their first two road contests in the current campaign.<\/p>\n

Heading into this encounter, Marseille are fourth in the table, five points below Lyon for an automatic spot in the League Phase of the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n

They have won their last three meetings with Brest in the top-flight by a combined margin of 12-2, including a 5-1 win at Stade Francis-Le Ble in 2024.<\/p>\n

\"Ludovic<\/p>\n

Due to a muscle strain, Brest will likely be missing Mama Balde<\/a> and Soumaila Coulibaly<\/a> this week, while Bradley Locko<\/a> is doubtful because of a sore hamstring and Kamory Doumbia<\/a> is eligible to return from his yellow card suspension.<\/p>\n

Remy Labeau<\/a> netted his fourth goal in Ligue 1 on Saturday, with the Lens loanee scoring just before the hour mark in their draw with Lille.<\/p>\n

An ear problem could keep Leonardo Balerdi<\/a> out of the Marseille fold on Friday, while Geronimo Rulli<\/a> was back between the sticks on matchday 22 in place of Jeffrey de Lange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mason Greenwood<\/a> scored his league-leading 14th of the season versus Strasbourg, with Amine Gouiri<\/a> netting for the fifth time domestically in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

Brest possible starting lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coudert; Lala, Diaz, Chardonnet, Guindo; Chotard, Magnetti; Del Castillo, Tousart, Labeau; Ajorque<\/p>\n

Marseille possible starting lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rulli; Weah, Pavard, Aguerd, Palmieri; Kondogbia, Hojbjerg; Greenwood, Timber, Gouiri; Aubameyang<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We say: Brest 1-3 Marseille<\/h2>\n

While these teams are trending in opposite directions right now, we believe the Marseille attack have far too many weapons that will trouble an inconsistent Brest backline this weekend.<\/p>\n
