Who would have imagined that the Brest Stadium would total 7 points after 3 days in this new Champions League formula? From dream to reality, there is only one step. And these die-hard Bretons are ready to cross it. Eric Roy’s team is starting to dream after its successes against the Austrians of Sturm Graz (2-1) and RB Salzburg (4-0), and its very promising match against Bayer Leverkusen (1-1).
This Wednesday, Sparta Prague will appear on the road to Brestois. An opponent a priori more affordable on paper. But Brest does not intend to underestimate this Czech team, which will be supported by its supporters. To avoid this trap, Eric Roy should still rely on his strengths.
Brest with its strong links
The strong men of Stade Brestois are expected for this trip to the east of the continent. From Bizot in the goals to Ajorque at the forefront of the attack, including the midfielders Lees-Melou, Magnetti and Camara, the host Del Castillo or the full-backs Lala and Haïdara, Brest will have its benchmarks.
Tactically, too, Roy should focus on continuity with a well-established 4-3-3 animation, even if no possibility can be ruled out, at kick-off or during the match.
The expected composition for Brest : Bizot – Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Amavi – Magnetti, Lees-Melou, Camara – Del Castillo, Ajorque, Baldé.
