Strasbourg host Brest in Ligue 1 at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday (March 5). The hosts are 15th in the standings but only one point above the relegation zone, having won just four games this season.
However, given that three of them have come in 2023, Strasboutg are looking a bit more confident at the moment.
Brest, meanwhile, are in the relegation zone but are just two points below Strasbourg. However, they have hit a slump in form in recent weeks, claiming only two points since the start of February.

- Strasbourg have won two of their last four games. While they have lost to Lille in recent weeks, they drew against Clermont last weekend in a creditable performance.
- Brest have won just once in 2023, beating bottom side Angers on January 29. Apart from that, they’ve lost five of their ten games since the season restarted following the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including their last three.

Strasbourg vs Brest Prediction
Given Strasbourg’s upturn in form in recent weeks and the goalscoring exploits of Diallo, they should be hopeful of a victory. Their history against Brest at home is also positive.
Brest aren’t the worst side in Ligue 1, but they haven’t won in five games and have lost their last three. More worryingly, they can’t seem to score goals right now, having delivered just three in five games.
So the prediction for this one is a home win, albeit by not too many goals.
Prediction: Strasbourg 2-0 Brest
