Brest made the most of a bit of a blip from both Metz and especially Lens before the international break, to force their way into the top two and will be looking to build on that now.  They are 8-2-0 across their last 10 starts and led 2-0 in one of those draws, away to Clermont ahead of which I spoke about their awesome record on the road under head coach Jean-Marc Furlan.......

 

 

 

 

 

I have not previewed many Clermont games since very early season, but back in September touched upon their budget, how that forces them to operate and players they had lost in the off season...............

 

 

 

 

 

Late last month ahead of a home game with Auxerre I spoke about the lack of goals at Red Star and their struggle to make the step up to L2 level ..........
