The prospect of a favourable result for the Brest team this Sunday is particularly challenging, given the many challenges. Technician Will Still faces a considerably weakened defence, with several key players unavailability, including Aguilar, Bahet and Machado. At the same time, the Lens team is going through a period of offensive inefficiencies, further reducing hopes of success. This unfavourable situation makes the task extremely complex for the Brest team.

For his part, coach Eric Roy also has to deal with a workforce decimated by injuries and bruises. Justin Bourgault suffers from intercostal pain, Ibrahim Salah is unavailable due to a fracture of metatarsus, and Soumaila Coulibaly presents problems to adductors. These significant absences weaken the Brestian training and complicate the implementation of the game strategy.

Finally, the state of Ludovic Ajorque raises uncertainty. Following a cramping blow received in the previous match at Geoffroy-Guichard, requiring medical intervention for the suture of his wounds, he did not participate in the training yesterday. Although participation in the game against Lens is not excluded at this stage, its condition remains to be carefully monitored.
