Brest vs Real Madrid Prediction & Tips
Real Madrid visit Brest looking to continue the good form and results they have enjoyed since losing to Barcelona in the Super Cup (2-5).
Even with a win, it is very difficult for the Madrid side to qualify directly for the last 16, although it is not impossible with a carambola. Nor is it impossible to rule out elimination, but it would also have to be an improbable carambola. Ancelotti’s team are currently sixteenth with 4 wins and 3 defeats and Brest are thirteenth with 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
The Whites, who will be without the suspended Vinicius, have rediscovered their goalscoring form in recent matches. They beat Celta in extra time in the Copa del Rey (5-2), Las Palmas in La Liga (4-1), Salzburg in the Champions League (5-1) and again Valladolid in La Liga (0-3).
They arrive as favourites at Guingamp, which is the home ground where the match will be played as Brest’s stadium does not meet the conditions required by UEFA. Nor should it be an advantage for the Madrid side, because less than 100 kilometres separate one city from the other and the French team will have the support of their fans.
Brest are eighth in the French league, in which they have a curious statistic, because they either win or lose, they do not usually draw, although they have had a very positive recent run. Nine wins, one draw and nine defeats is their record. In France, they are shining because they have won four consecutive victories having beaten Lyon (2-1), Nantes in the Cup (2-1), Rennes (1-2) and Le Havre (0-1), although in the Champions League they disappointed when they were beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk (2-0).
Real Madrid suffered a major setback in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia when they were thrashed by Barcelona (2-5). But they reacted by eliminating Celta with a deceptive scoreline, because despite the 5-2 scoreline they settled the tie in extra time. Against Las Palmas they were more convincing with their 4-1 win, and repeated comfortable victories against Salzburg in the Champions League (5-1) and Valladolid in La Liga (0-3).
