Brest-Marseille is a match of the 22nd day of Ligue 1 and is played Sunday at 8:45 pm: tv, likely lineups, predictions
Gattuso’s Marseille has moved significantly away from the Europe zone. And to somehow try to get back in this second half of the season, it must above all not lose against Brest, which, on the other hand, is fourth in the standings and dreams of a resounding qualification to the next Champions League, now only one point away.
It goes without saying that the hosts, however, are favored. Also for a fairly simple reason: the guests last Thursday played in the Europa League (2-2 the final against Shakhtar away) so want it or not they have not only lost not inconsiderable physical and mental energy, but they will also think about next week’s home engagement against the Ukrainians that could open interesting scenarios for the future. In short, Gattuso risks another fall, even a major one. However, his team has the qualities to try to come out of this situation.
Yes, also because Brest’s moment is not that of the best. Four games without a win for the hosts – only one defeat – and the distinct feeling that they are a little short of oxygen. The attack is not stinging as it should and the defense is swerving; in short, a little of the balance has been lost that has allowed until now to have a great season. No one expected this formation to occupy at this time the ranking position it has.
The prediction
While Brest, on the one hand, is not looking great, Gattuso’s Marseille also has other thoughts and a match in the week already played that will surely weigh a little. But in the end it would be enough for the guests not to lose, and so everything points precisely to a final draw. In a match that almost without a doubt will give at least one goal per team.
