⁠Brest vs Marseille Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Ligue 1 2024-25

Brest finished third in the league last season.

Brest had a remarkable season last term after achieving great success under the leadership of Eric Roy. Roy has done an excellent job since taking the role in January 2023. He guided the team to a historic third-place finish which secured their place in the UEFA Champions League.

This will be the first time they will be playing in this prestigious tournament. However, now they are set to start their new season with a difficult match against Marseille on the opening weekend. Plenty of eyes will be on the team and how they will fare this term after taking the league by surprise last season. 

Marseille begin a new era under Roberto De Zerbi who has built a reputation of being one of the best managers in world football. Marseille will be hoping he can guide the team back to the top after enduring an underwhelming campaign last term where they finished in the eighth position. 

The club hierarchy have done well to make some changes in the squad, signing several top players who are set to play a vital role for them this season. One name that has already impressed everyone is Mason Greenwood. He has caught the eye with his performances in pre-season.

Players to Watch

Romain Del Castillo (⁠Brest)

Castillo had an excellent season for Brest last term after appearing 36 times for the club scoring eight goals. He assisted another eight to register his career-best performance for the club. Castillo is a versatile player who can play as a right winger and also can effectively play the role of midfielder if needed. He brings excellent athleticism to the team, effortlessly working to help the team in the best possible way.

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

Mason Greenwood is set to play an important role for Marseille this Ligue 1 season after making the move from Manchester United on a permanent deal. He had an excellent campaign last term for Getafe on loan where he netted ten goals and assisted another six to finish as one of the top performers in the side. Comfortable with both feet, Greenwood is a dynamic player who can create havoc in the opposite half with his incredible burst of pace and dribbling ability.
