Prediction Brest vs Montpellier 2024/2025 – Betting Tips for Ligue 1 on May 4, 2025

As the Ligue 1 season heats up, the clash between Brest and Montpellier on May 4, 2025, promises to be an exhilarating encounter at the Stade Francis-Le Ble in Brest. With both teams battling for their respective position in the league, every point counts, making this matchup pivotal for their campaign.

Team Form and Recent Performances

Brest currently occupies the 9th position in the league table, boasting a record of 13 wins, 5 draws, and 13 losses from 31 matches. This indicates a solid attacking presence, having scored a respectable 49 goals, albeit conceding 53 in return, which highlights potential defensive vulnerabilities. However, it's worth mentioning that Brest's form has been a mixed bag lately. They managed to secure a thrilling victory over Monaco (2-1) but fell short against Olympique Marseille in their last outing, suffering a tough 4-1 loss. That said, their recent 4-goal showing against Toulouse gives hope that their offense can ignite once again.

On the other side, Montpellier finds itself in a dire situation, positioned at the bottom of the league in 18th place. With a record of just 4 wins, 4 draws, and a staggering 23 losses, they are desperately seeking points to escape the relegation zone. The team's goal difference (22 scored and 71 conceded) illustrates significant struggles on both ends of the pitch. Their recent performances have been equally challenging, with a draw against Reims (0-0) followed by heavy defeats against teams like Olympique Marseille (5-1) and Angers SCO (2-0). This lack of consistency and ability to score could prove detrimental as they face a more formidable Brest side.

Key Match Analysis and Expectations
