Brest vs Lorient prediction 07.02.2026 | Ligue 1

Brest’s 2025/26 campaign has been inconsistent. In their last five Ligue 1 matches, they have recorded just one win - a 2-0 victory over Auxerre on the first Ligue 1 matchday of 2026 - and have failed to register a single win in their last three league outings. They appear relatively comfortable in mid-table, with little immediate danger of relegation, sitting nine points above the drop zone. However, they have all but extinguished any realistic hopes of securing European qualification by the end of the season.

At home, Brest have not always been dominant but have shown resilience in front of their supporters, often keeping matches competitive. They have averaged more than 1.5 total goals in the majority of their home fixtures this season. Eric Roy’s men have also collected three wins from their last four matches at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, highlighting a degree of home stability.

Although official injury lists for this specific Round 21 clash remain limited publicly, previous reports suggest Brest have had to contend with occasional absences, including Bradley Locko and Mama Baldé.

Lorient arrive with significantly stronger momentum. They are currently enjoying an impressive nine-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1, having emerged victorious in their last three consecutive league fixtures. Notably, two of those wins came away from home - a 3-1 triumph at Monaco and a 2-0 victory over Rennes - underlining Lorient’s strong away resilience and their ability to perform effectively in high-pressure environments.

In terms of squad availability, Lorient have previously been affected by injuries in defensive and midfield areas. Concerns have surrounded players such as Trevan Sanusi and Bandiougou Fadiga, along with doubts over the fitness of Panos Katseris, which have at times impacted depth in key positions.
