Auxerre vs Brest Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals / Brest to Win

An entertaining contest could be on the cards with recent stats suggesting a strong likelihood of a minimum of three goals scored at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps.

Brest make the trip to the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps in high spirits after claiming a first-ever Champions League victory last week. Les Pirates picked up a 2:1 win against Sturm Graz before backing that victory up with a 2:0 Ligue 1 win against Toulouse last weekend.

Typically involved in high-scoring outcomes, Brest have seen over 2.5 goals scored in five of their seven most recent fixtures. On the road, those numbers are similarly consistent with four of their last five seeing a minimum of three goals scored. An average of five goals were scored across those five fixtures.

While Eric Roy´s side have enjoyed a strong start to their season, Auxerre´s return to Ligue 1 has yet to inspire much confidence in the home side. Christophe Pélissier´s men lost each of their last four matches since a 2:1 win on the opening day of the season against Nice.

Like Brest, Auxerre have also seen a number of recent fixtures going over the 2.5 goal line. Christophe Pélissier´s side saw at least three goals scored in six of their last seven games played and something similar seems likely this weekend.

In a likely competitive battle, I expect both teams to score and a minimum of three goals scored at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, with Brest likely to emerge victorious against their out-of-form hosts.
