LiontipsBrest - Marseille. Betting Tip (odds 3.40) and bets on the French championship
Command Analysis
Current form
At the end of last season, Brest was in a fierce battle with Lille for a ticket to the main European club tournament. Thanks to a confident victory in the final round over Toulouse (3:0), Eric Roy's charges received a direct ticket to the Champions League.
In friendly games in preparation for the new season, Brest played six matches. Three were with French teams from lower leagues, and they did not perform well in them - a victory over Avaranches (2:0), a draw with Lorient (1:1) and a fiasco against Laval (0:1). After these matches, there were more serious opponents, in which they lost to Napoli and Newcastle United (0:1), and also drew with Juventus (2:2). There is no need to take these matches too seriously, because the coaching staff often made castling changes and did not play with a permanent lineup.

Current form
Marseille failed miserably last season and failed to even get into the Conference League. Of course, no one expected this from the club after the bronze medals in the previous season. It was clear that the team would undergo a restructuring in the off-season, and this happened. The 45-year-old specialist Roberto de Zebri, known for his work in Donetsk Shakhtar and English Brighton, took the helm of the club.
Five matches were played under the new coach. There was only a defeat in the first game with Nimes (0:2), then confident victories over Toulon and Pau with the same score of 3:0, a draw with Sunderland (2:2) and a final victory over Augsburg (3:1). In short, the preparatory campaign was fruitful.

1.75Tip and bets
Marseille have had a very good preparatory campaign, but the opening match of the new season will be away, where the team has been conceding since the beginning of this year. We believe that Brest will be able to concentrate on their home field and play quality football, more productive than it was in the off-season. We will bet on both opponents to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.68
Bet on the outcome
It is clear from the pre-season matches that Marseille are in better playing form, but Brest will play the match in front of their home fans. We will bet that there will be no winner in this match.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.40
Bet on corners
Both teams are not defensive, so it is logical to bet that they will make quite a few corner kicks between them.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.68
