Forest round off pre-season with win over Stade Brestois 29

Forest completed their pre-season programme with a victory over Stade Brestois 29, finishing their preparations with a positive result. No score was provided for the match, but the outcome confirmed a win for Forest against the Ligue 1 side.

The result came during a difficult run for Brest, who had entered the fixture without a victory in their previous five matches. Their recent sequence included three defeats and two draws, leaving the French club still searching for consistency before the start of their league campaign.

Brest began that run with a 2-0 defeat by Al Wakrah before drawing 2-2 with Concarneau. They then shared a 1-1 result with Angers, lost 2-1 to Strasbourg and suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain.

The latest loss means Brest’s recent record remains winless despite scoring in two of those five matches. The side scored three goals across the sequence, while conceding eight, with their only clean sheet coming in the defeats by Al Wakrah and Paris Saint-Germain.

Brest’s next fixture is already set, with Le Mans hosting them in Ligue 1 on 22 August 2026. That match will provide their next opportunity to respond after ending pre-season with a defeat against Forest.

For Forest, the victory closes the pre-season schedule with the team on the winning side against a Ligue 1 opponent. The match was the final result supplied for their preparations, while Brest now turn their attention to the competitive fixture at Le Mans.
