Brest vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips | May 4 2025

Brest play host to Montpellier in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade Francis-Le-Ble this Sunday.

Brest are currently in 9th, and now cannot qualify for Europe next season, giving them little to play for here. Montpellier, meanwhile, were relegated last weekend and cannot even make it off the bottom of the table now.

So can Brest hand Montpellier yet another loss this weekend?

Brest vs Montpellier Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Surprisingly, given their awful form this season, Montpellier's last match with Brest actually saw them pick up a victory. It was one of just four wins they've achieved this season, and meant they have won three of their last six games against Les Pirates.
• Brest were hammered 4-1 by high-flying Marseille last weekend, ending any slim hopes they may have had of another season with European qualification. The loss was their second in a row, leaving them winless in their last three games.
• Montpellier's 16-year stint in Ligue 1 officially ended last weekend. They did avoid a defeat by drawing 0-0 with Reims, but it was not enough to give them any hopes of survival, as Le Havre had already drawn with Monaco earlier, sealing their fate.
• Brest's defensive woes continued in their last match, as the four goals they conceded to Marseille moved their total to 53. That's a worse defensive record than all but the bottom three in Ligue 1 this season, and they have conceded at least three goals in ten games.
• While Montpellier's draw with Reims last weekend broke a sequence of eleven losses in a row, it marked yet another game in which they failed to score. In fact, their consolation goal against Marseille on April 19 is their only one in their last nine.

Brest vs Montpellier Prediction

Brest struggled to show any kind of form last weekend in their loss to Marseille, but to be fair, Marseille are currently in 2nd place in the league table.

This match should be the perfect opportunity for them to bounce back. Montpellier did beat them earlier in the season, but given their woeful form and now their relegation, it's hard to imagine them repeating that here.

Moreover, Montpellier's profligacy in front of goal will be music to Brest's ears, as their defensive record has been poor all season. The prediction, then, is a home win.

Prediction: Brest 2-0 Montpellier
