Lyon-Brest, a challenge valid for the 24th day of Ligue 1 2024-25, is staged on Sunday afternoon: kickoff at 3 p.m., at the same time as Bologna-Cagliari and Genoa-Empoli of Serie A. 

In the last round of the championship, Paulo Fonseca’s eleven failed to win points against the leading PSG. Defeated 3-2, Lyon suffered their second setback in the last four matches. Now, in the’challenging match against Brest, the team of the’former Milan coach will have to find their rhythm immediately to get back to the grind of points.

Brest, thanks to the draw obtained in the last round against Strasbourg, extended its positive series in Ligue 1 to three consecutive games without defeat. Currently ninth in the standings and still in the running for a place in Europe, the Roy-led group is only three points behind sixth place. To continue dreaming of a prestigious placement, it will be essential to maintain consistency and pace until the conclusion of the season.
