Prediction: 2-1

Montpellier

After holding Lyon to a 2-2 draw at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in midweek, Brest will be looking to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Montpellier on Matchday 16. Les Pirates are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home in the national championship, but keep in mind that midfielder Paul Lasne is sidelined through suspension. Belkelba returns to contention, while Bain, Pierre-Gabriel, and Le Douaron are likely to miss the game through injuries.

La Paillade, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a shocking 2-0 loss to Metz. Even though Montpellier were impressive in the Ligue 1 in November, home win should be considered this time out as Brest have been producing splendid displays at their Stade Francis-Le Ble of late. Montpellier head coach Michel Der Zakarian has no fresh selection worries ahead of the trip to Brest.
