OM coach De Zerbi said before the match: “It’s a strong team with a strong Ajorque fort centre. We want to stay in second place in the standings… They’re all good guys. When things come out, it’s not bad faith. We want to play the Champions League but we have limits, me first. On the physical level, everyone came back, when we saw Greenwood when he came into play… Over 10 months, it’s normal that there’s a drop, we’ve had injured players. It’s not an apology. We have to make decisions at the right time. (…) (Balerdi) He hasn’t done all the work with us, I haven’t decided yet. He said he was available. We’ll see if he plays tomorrow.”

Eric Roy, Brest’s coach, said: “OM is a strong and quality team in a fantastic stadium. It’s going to be a beautiful game to play, a great challenge for us facing a very offensive team, which scores many goals. It’ll be a different game than going. Of the last four games, we have some great games to play. This is an opportunity to play against teams with European ambitions, for our part we left a few points on the way, but we have to prove that we are in the fight with this type of opponent. We’ll be a bit of a referee in these last meetings, with the will to play all the matches to finish as high as possible. "
