Lyon come into this Ligue 1 fixture carrying strong momentum after consecutive away wins and improved control across competitions.

Brest remain competitive but inconsistent, particularly when matches stretch against higher tempo sides. The contrast between Lyon’s recent authority and Brest’s defensive exposure shapes this matchup.

Lyon’s Control Growing With Confidence

Les Gones arrive in good rhythm after wins away at Lille and Monaco, scoring five goals across those two matches. At home, Lyon have also shown reliability, with wins over Le Havre and Saint-Cyr Collonges built on disciplined structure and steady pressure.

Across their last five matches, Lyon have conceded only three goals, which highlights improved balance between attack and defence.

Lyon’s attacking output has been spread across matches rather than reliant on single moments.

Scoring 25 goals in 17 league games reflects consistent chance creation, while conceding just 17 suggests a side capable of managing leads.

At home, Lyon tend to take initiative early and limit opponents to low quality opportunities.

Brest’s Threat Offset by Defensive Exposure

Brest have shown they can compete, as seen in wins over Auxerre and Monaco, but defensive lapses remain a concern. They have conceded 27 goals in 17 league matches, which places pressure on their attack to stay efficient. Away from home, Brest have struggled to maintain defensive compactness once tempo increases.

Recent matches against Rennes and Strasbourg highlighted that vulnerability, even when Brest contribute goals of their own. While they remain capable of scoring, particularly in transition, their ability to contain sustained pressure against stronger home sides is limited.

Lyon vs Brest Prediction

The best bet for this match is HT/FT Lyon/Lyon at 2.50 odds. Lyon’s recent home performances show they are comfortable asserting control early, while Brest have found it difficult to stay organised once pinned back. The difference in defensive reliability supports Lyon leading at the break and maintaining that edge.

Endrick to score anytime at 2.30 odds also carries excellent value given his stellar performance against Lille in last week’s French Cup. The 19-year-old on loan from Real Madrid stole the show, eventually getting on score sheet is expected to put on a similar show here.

The correct score prediction is Lyon to win 3-0 at 12.00 odds. Lyon’s defensive record at home and Brest’s difficulties away from home leave room for a clean sheet if Lyon convert pressure efficiently. While Brest remain capable of competing for periods, Lyon’s control across ninety minutes points towards a comfortable margin if the game opens early.

FC Basel welcome FC Sion in a matchup that brings together two sides closely matched in league position but differing slightly in approach. Basel have relied on structure and patience in recent weeks, while Sion arrive with confidence built on a solid run that mixes defensive discipline with timely goals.

The balance between these teams suggests a competitive encounter. Recent meetings and current form point toward a game where momentum could swing quickly, especially if early chances are taken.

FC Basel Growing in Control at Home

Basel’s recent results show a team that is difficult to break down. They have drawn 1-1 with Servette and held Lausanne and St. Gallen to goalless draws, while also picking up narrow away wins such as the 2-1 victory at Luzern. This run highlights improved organisation, even if goals have not always come freely.

At home against Sion, Basel have enjoyed success in recent seasons. Wins by 4-1 and 2-0 stand out in the head-to-head record, showing their ability to impose themselves when playing on familiar ground, especially as matches open up.

FC Sion Carry Threat Despite Defensive Focus

Sion’s recent form reflects a side comfortable managing games. Victories such as the 2-0 win over Winterthur and the 2-0 success against Young Boys underline their defensive solidity, while the 3-1 loss at St. Gallen showed they remain competitive even in defeat.

Against Basel, Sion have shown resilience. Recent meetings include a 2-2 draw and a 1-1 result, suggesting they are capable of staying in games and responding when pressured. Their ability to score on the road adds an extra layer of intrigue to this fixture.

FC Basel vs FC Sion Prediction

The best bet for this encounter leans toward an open contest developing as the match progresses. Basel’s recent home performances suggest they can control large spells, but Sion’s efficiency going forward makes it unlikely they will remain quiet throughout the game. Both sides have shown a habit of growing into matches rather than closing them down early.

The valuable bet is backing over 2.5 goals with both teams finding the net. With recent head-to-head scorelines like 4-1 and 2-2, and both teams carrying consistent attacking output this season, this fixture sets up well for goals arriving at both ends.

Feyenoord welcome Sparta Rotterdam for a city derby shaped by attacking contrast and recent volatility. The hosts continue to produce goals in volume, while Sparta arrive with confidence built on efficient away performances.

Recent meetings at De Kuip have favoured Feyenoord, yet Sparta’s ability to strike early keeps this contest from feeling straightforward.

Feyenoord’s Firepower Remains Central

The Rotterdammers remain one of the league’s most aggressive attacking sides. They scored six against PEC Zwolle and followed that with two goals away at Heerenveen, reinforcing how consistently they generate chances regardless of venue.

However, defensive lapses have crept in. Feyenoord have conceded in four of their last five matches, including draws against Heerenveen and Twente where they struggled to fully control transitions. Even in victory at Telstar, they allowed space before regaining command.

At home, their attacking weight usually tips games decisively, but the recent pattern suggests opponents are finding routes into the game more often than earlier in the season.

Sparta’s Efficiency Away From Home

Sparta Rotterdam’s recent form reflects a side comfortable operating on fine margins. They have won three of their last four league matches, including narrow away victories at Volendam and solid home results against Heracles and NAC Breda.

Their 0-3 defeat at home to Heerenveen stands out as an anomaly, rather than a trend. Away from home, Sparta often start assertively, aiming to disrupt rhythm early before settling into a compact shape.

Goals remain harder to come by, with just 20 scored across the season, but their willingness to commit bodies forward early in matches continues to create openings.

Feyenoord vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction

The best bet for this match is over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at 1.91 odds. Feyenoord’s attacking output points strongly towards a high scoring contest, while their recent defensive record increases the likelihood of Sparta contributing.

Additionally, Sparta Rotterdam to score first at 2.88 odds looks a valuable bet. Sparta have shown a tendency to start quickly away from home, while Feyenoord have conceded the opening goal in recent fixtures.

A correct score prediction worth consideration is 3-1 to Feyenoord. That outcome reflects their home dominance and goal volume, balanced against Sparta’s capacity to find the net before Feyenoord’s quality asserts itself.

Alanyaspor host Fenerbahce with contrasting objectives shaping the contest. The home side continue to collect draws through caution and structure, while Fenerbahce arrive unbeaten and scoring freely across recent weeks.

This fixture often swings on control of tempo, and current form suggests the visitors are better equipped to dictate proceedings.

Alanyaspor’s Cautious Approach Limits Momentum

Alanyaspor’s recent run highlights a side prioritising defensive balance over attacking risk. Three of their last five league matches ended level, including consecutive goalless draws against Kayserispor and Antalyaspor that underlined their conservative game management.

At home, results have been mixed. The 2-0 win over Fatih Karagumruk showed they can capitalise when given space, but the loss to Kasimpasa exposed their difficulty responding once they fall behind. Across the last five matches shown, Alanyaspor have scored only four goals, often relying on set phases rather than sustained pressure.

Defensively, they remain organised, conceding just once across the last four matches, yet that solidity has come at the expense of attacking fluency.

Fenerbahce’s Authority Continues to Grow

Fenerbahce arrive in commanding form, unbeaten after 17 league matches and increasingly ruthless in the final third. They scored three away at Eyupspor and followed that with a 4-0 home win over Konyaspor, reinforcing their ability to control games early.

Away performances have been particularly convincing. The 5-2 win at Rizespor and the recent draw at Basaksehir show a side comfortable managing different match states. Even in the 1-1 derby draw with Galatasaray, Fenerbahce maintained composure and structure under pressure.

With 39 goals scored and only 14 conceded, their balance between attack and control remains one of the strongest in the league.

Alanyaspor vs Fenerbahce Prediction

The best bet centres on Fenerbahce leading at half time and winning at full time at 2.25 odds. Their recent matches show a clear tendency to impose themselves early, while Alanyaspor often take time to settle into games.

Over 2.5 goals at 1.90 odds also fits the likely flow. Fenerbahce’s attacking depth increases the chance of a higher scoring outcome, especially if they break through early and force Alanyaspor out of their cautious shape.
