It’s the surprise of the season in Ligue 1. The Brestois stadium has impressed since the start of the season but even more so since the start of 2024. Éric Roy’s men are in second place in the standings with 46 points on the meter.

That is 4 points ahead of 5th place Racing Club de Lens. A second place synonymous with direct qualification for the group stage of the 2024/2025 edition of the Champions League.

With 9 days to go before the end of the championship, the Brestois are very well positioned to qualify for the most beautiful club competition. Which would be a historic performance for SB29.

According to Opta statistics, Stade Brestois would have a 59% chance of finishing on the Ligue 1 podium at the end of the season and therefore participating in the Champions League next season.

Brest has its destiny in its hands

Will Stade Brestois succeed in reaching the Champions League next season? It’s a strong possibility. However, the Brestois will have to maintain their level of play if they want to make an impression with this qualification.

Beaten on the previous day by RC Lens (1-0), Pierre Lees-Melou’s partners suffered a setback and will have to recover this Sunday, March 17 on their lawn against LOSC. A meeting which promises to be delicate against a Lille team, fourth in the ranking which appears formidable in this exercise.
