Prediction Angers SCO vs Brest 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Ligue 1 on 28/09/2025

Match overview

Saturday’s meeting at Stade Raymond Kopa pits Angers SCO against Brest in what promises to be an intriguing Ligue 1 clash. The hosts arrive sitting 13th after five rounds with just five points, a side that has been hard to break down at times but uninspiring going forward — three goals scored, four conceded. Brest, one place and one point behind, carry contrasting fortunes: buoyant attacking returns with nine goals already this term but a defence that has leaked 11. The referee for the game will be Willy Delajod, and the crowd of just under 18,000 at Angers can expect a match with plenty of tempo and narrative.

Recent form and context

Angers have shown resilience in recent fixtures, grinding out draws against Rennes and Metz and taking a narrow home victory earlier in the campaign. Their last outing ended in a 1-0 defeat to Olympique Lyonnais where Hervé Koffi stood out as the best-rated performer. Defensive organisation has been their calling card at home — only one goal conceded in home matches so far — but attacking output has been limited. On the flip side, Brest arrive on a wave of confidence after a thumping 4-1 victory over Nice, a display that highlighted their firepower and underlined Ludovic Ajorque’s influence as their recent top performer. Those high-scoring displays are not a one-off: Brest’s matches have tended to produce goals, and their underlying shot numbers show a very proactive offensive approach.

Tactical snapshot and indicators

Statistically, the contrast is clear. Angers average fewer than nine shots per game and have produced modest attacking returns, while Brest are among the league’s more adventurous sides in possession of 77 total shots across their fixtures and a significantly higher share of dangerous attacks. Brest’s matches have an 80% frequency of finishing over 2.5 goals — a strong signal that when they play, goals tend to follow. Angers’ home profile suggests discipline and low-scoring affairs, but Breton volatility could unsettle that structure. The head-to-head earlier in the year saw Brest triumph 2-0, and that result will give them belief that they can reproduce similar attacking efficiency on Saturday.

Betting suggestion

Considering form, recent results and the market, the most convincing single selection is a 1X2 pick in favour of the visitors. Back Brest to win at the quoted price of 2.34. The combination of Brest’s attacking rhythm, their decisive 4-1 win last time out, and Angers’ limited goal threat at home point to value on an away victory.
