In the 34th round of the French championship, Brest will host Angers. From a competitive standpoint, the match does not have particular significance for either team, unless you consider that Ligue 1 pays bonuses for certain positions. Perhaps this could provide additional motivation. Or the fact that in the last round some players should stand out more. After all, Brest had lost the previous three matches. During the week, in the rescheduled game, they lost at home to Strasbourg (1-2); before that there were defeats by PSG (0-1) and Paris (0-4), as well as draws with Lens (3-3) and Nantes (1-1). Brest has not won since the start of March, i.e., across eight matches in a row. For a team with decent attacking potential this is a disheartening result. In the table, Brest and Angers occupy adjacent positions: 12th and 13th, respectively. There is a three-point gap between them. At the same time Angers have also not been able to win for a long time – eight matches in a row since the start of March. In their previous match, Angers drew with Strasbourg (1-1), earlier they lost to Auxerre (1-3) and PSG (0-3). Overall, the second half of the season has been unsuccessful for this team, and they have only three wins since the New Year. There was enough of a points cushion from the first half of the season to avoid dropping into the survival battle. In the first round match, Angers lost at home to Brest 0-2. Last season these same opponents exchanged home wins with the same score on the board.
