The French Ligue 1 returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Stade Brestois play host to Clermont Foot at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday.

Brestois made it two wins from two on Sunday, when they saw off nine-man Metz 1-0 at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.

That followed an impressive 2-1 victory over Olympique Lyon, which saw their two-game winless run come to an end. With 45 points from 34 games, Brestois are 11th in the Ligue 1 standings, five points behind Nantes in the top half of the points table with four games to go.

Clermont Foot, meanwhile, continued their push from the drop zone, as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against ten-man Angers last time.

Before that, the Lancers ended their seven-game winless run, courtesy of a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Troyes on April 20. With 33 points from 34 games, Clermont Foot are 17th in the points table, two points above Saint-Etienne in the relegation playoff spot.
