Match Preview
Brest was one of Ligue 1's biggest surprises of the previous campaign. Surpassing all predictions, the "Pirates" placed a record third in the championship, behind only PSG and Monaco. The team underwent significant, unfavorable alteration throughout the offseason. Brest lost three of the first four rounds despite having the ability to score points against practically any opponent. Their lone triumph came against Saint-Étienne, a second division team as of last May. For instance, Eric Roy's men were helpless against PSG in their most recent match.

Sturm, however, is at the top of its game. The Austrian Cup was won by the "Black-Whites" last season after they upset RB Salzburg's reign of dominance in the league and went on to win the nation's Super Cup in the summer. Sturm is obviously not going to slow down and wants to build on its success from the previous season. Christian Ilzer's team had won six straight games heading into the match, and they completely destroyed Tirol in their most recent official game (4-2). Sturm has nearly every player available for the match, with the exception of Alexander Borkovic (injury).

Goaloo Prediction
Strangely enough, sportsbooks have Brest as the clear favorite in the forthcoming match. The French team will play at home, no doubt, but their performance is far from impressive. Pierre Lees-Melou was a vital member of Brest's squad the previous season, and it is obvious that they miss him. The "Pirates" were able to accumulate points on a regular basis because of his dependable midfield activities. His absence has caused a sharp decline in the results. In the meantime, Sturm is playing with great momentum, having won six straight games, and they will want to end the match with a good point total from their opponent. Since we have faith in the Austrians, our main bet is that Sturm will not lose. We predict a score of 1-2 for the outcome of the match.

Pick: Sturm Graz will not lose
