Stade Brestois, which was aiming to return to Europe next season, was beaten in Marseille (4-1), where Eric Roy apologized to the other teams in the race. After having experienced exceptional months marked by an unexpected epic in the Champions League, Stade Brestois has nothing to play in Ligue 1. If the initial goal was difficult to achieve, the players and their technical staff were still hoping to return to the European scene next season to relive the emotions experienced this season. However, this objective was nullified on the lawn of the Orange Vélodrome, where they were easily beaten by the Olympique de Marseille and Amine Gouiri (4-1). Eric Roy, disillusioned after the game, said the score was heavy but normal given the defensive attitudes displayed by his team. He also criticized his players for their lack of combativity during the game.

The aim of the Britons is now to increase their capital points and play fairly until the end of the season. Eric Roy expressed his sympathy with the other teams fighting with OM, but he also pointed out that the Stade Brestois could become a referee in this frenzy race. The Bretons soon faced the LOSC and the OGC Nice, two podium candidates. The current classification is very tight, with six teams standing in four small points. It remains to be seen whether the Stade Brestois will make other gifts.

The match between Stade Brestois and the LOSC will be an opportunity to meet the two coaches Bruno Genesio and Éric Roy, who have been friends since their time in Lyon. Both technicians have commonalities in how they manage their group, notably by empowering their players and taking into account those who play more or less often. However, there are also differences in their style of play related to the groups they have at their disposal.
