Brest Team News

In their recent friendly match at home, Brest played to a 1-1 draw against Cagliari. The home team took the lead in the 57th minute when Romain Del Castillo assisted Martin Satriano, who sent the ball into the net. The equalizing goal followed thirteen minutes later, and the score remained unchanged after that.

Before that match, Brest played four more preparatory matches, securing three victories and suffering one loss. In the previous season of the league competition, they finished 14th on the table with 44 points, nine more than Auxerre who got relegated to a lower division.

Brest is entering the new season with a squad free from injuries, giving Eric Roy many options when selecting the starting lineup for the campaign. Former Reims defender Bradley Locko is likely to make his debut for the Pirates, while Inter Milan loanee Martin Satriano is expected to play in the forward line.

Jeremy Le Douaron, the top scorer with 10 goals last season, will join Satriano in the attack, while Romain Del Castillo will aim to build upon his six goals and seven assists from the previous season.

Lens Team News

Lens’ footballers lost in their latest away friendly match against Manchester United with a score of 3-1. Even though they scored the opening goal as early as the 23rd minute through Florian Sotoca, they conceded three goals from the beginning of the second half until the 59th minute, after which they couldn’t recover the score.

Before that match, they played six more preparatory games, achieving two victories and four draws. Lens was a pleasant surprise in the previous season, securing second place in the competition with 84 points, just one point less than the top-placed PSG, earning themselves a spot in the Champions League.

It seems that Lens will start the season without the injured duo of Jimmy Cabot and Wuiolker Farinez, both having knee problems, while Wesley Said is uncertain due to a muscle issue.

Andy Diouf and Angelo Fulgini seem poised to make their competitive debuts for the Blood and Gold on Sunday, with Florian Sotoca expected to lead the attack after scoring a goal in last week’s friendly loss to Manchester United.
