Under Grosso’s Helm: Can Lyon Salvage Pride Against High-Flying Brest?
Key Stats
– Lyon’s troubling start mirrors their 1966 struggle, the worst in 57 years.
– Brest’s Romain Del Castillo shines with an average BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.86, being their top performer.
Lyon’s hopes of rejuvenating their 2023-24 season rest heavily on the shoulders of new manager Fabio Grosso. An unsettling start sees them languishing near the bottom, reminiscent of their 1966 struggles. They’ve gleaned a mere two points out of a possible fifteen, marking their worst initiation into the Ligue 1 in over five decades. The dismissal of Laurent Blanc after home humiliations against teams like Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier only further underlines their predicament.
Lyon’s recent draw against Le Havre brought some solace. Though they dominated with 23 shots, they failed to find the net. Grosso, who boasts a rich history with Lyon as a former player, has a colossal task ahead. His recent managerial success with Frosinone, where he clinched the Serie B title, gives a shimmer of hope to the troubled Lyon side.
Brest’s Remarkable Uptrend
In stark contrast to Lyon’s plights, Brest are enjoying the limelight. Occupying the second spot in the league table, their start to the 2023-24 season is drawing commendations. Having garnered three wins, one draw, and a single loss, they’re only outshone by Monaco. Their defensive prowess is also evident, with only two teams conceding fewer goals this term.

Their resilience was palpable when they overturned a two-goal deficit to clinch a 3-2 victory against Lens. Players like Mahdi Camara and Pierre Lees-Melous have been instrumental in maintaining Brest’s momentum, steering the team to success even in challenging matches.
Head-to-Head Analysis
Brest’s Formidable Home Record: With a legacy of winning six out of the last eight home games in the Ligue 1 since April, Brest’s Stade Francis-Le Ble fortress is intimidating for any visitor. Even Champions League aspirants like Rennes managed only a draw.
Lyon’s Woes: The journey for the visiting team is treacherous. With four defeats in their last six matches, Lyon’s recent track record does not inspire confidence.
Key Players To Watch: Brest’s Romain Del Castillo is in splendid form, registering three goals this season. Meanwhile, Lyon’s potential saviours could be Alexandre Lacazette, Corentin Tolisso, and Rayan Cherki.
Predictions
- Match Outcome: Considering Brest’s robust home form and Lyon’s ongoing issues, a win for Brest seems the most plausible. However, taking into account the unpredictability of football and Lyon’s desperation for a turnaround, a draw could be on the cards. Thus, a Draw is the prediction here.
- Correct Score Prediction: Brest’s defence has been tight, but Lyon’s offensive threats cannot be ignored. Predicting a 2-2 scoreline.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Given his recent form and contributions, Romain Del Castillo is likely to score in this fixture for Brest. For Lyon, the experience and skill of Alexandre Lacazette make him a probable goalscorer.
