Stade Brestois will be looking to make it three straight wins for the first time since May when they play host to Lorient at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Wednesday.
Eric Roy’s hosts have hit their stride after a rough spell in October and will be looking to strengthen their position in the upper echelons of the Ligue 1 standings.
Stade Brestois maintained their fine run of results on Sunday when they picked up a 2-0 victory over Nantes at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Roy’s side have now gone five consecutive games without defeat, claiming four wins and one draw since a 2-0 loss against AS Monaco on November 5.
With 28 points from 16 matches, Brest are currently fifth in the Ligue 1 standings, level on points with forth-placed LOSC Lille.
Lorient, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot last time out when they were beaten 2-1 by Strasbourg at the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir.
Régis Le Bris’ men have now failed to win their last seven matches, picking up just two points from a possible 21 since a 2-1 win over Stade Rennais on October 22.
With 12 points from 16 matches, Lorient are currently 17th in the league table but could move out of the bottom three with all three points on Wednesday.
