After a three-week absence, Brest return to Ligue 1 action on Sunday looking to get their season back on track away to Montpellier HSC at the Stade de la Mosson.
A postponement of their gameweek 12 meeting with Strasbourg coupled with the international break mean that Brest have not featured since November 5, while Montpellier went into the break off the back of a good draw with high-flying Nice.
A 3-0 defeat to PSG was nothing to be too ashamed about, while the goalless draw with unbeaten Nice in their most recent outing should act as a good foundation from which to build heading into the busiest part of the campaign.
Certainly, Montpellier will be feeling better about their form than a current run of just one win in four might suggest, but manager Michel Der Zakarian will know that getting more wins on the board in the coming weeks will be imperative, starting against the club that sacked him in October 2022.
The upcoming stage of the season is set to be a pivotal one with only five points separating the final European spot and the relegation playoff place, and Montpellier currently sit just one point clear of the latter.
