MATCH PREDICTION
Under the management of former Sunderland player Eric Roy, Stade Brest pulled off something of a miracle to even qualify for the UEFA Champions League with a third placed finish last season. The home team have inevitably regressed to the mean in Ligue 1 this year but they have managed back-to-back victories to kick off their European campaign. They now face a Bayer Leverkusen side that, coached by Xabi Alonso, won the Bundesliga with no defeats last year. They play an entertaining style of football and have remained strong this year so, despite Brest’s strong European record, a comfortable Leverkusen win remains the likeliest outcome for this one.
