In that match, Nice had 49% possession and 14 shots at goal with 6 on target. For their opponents, Rennes had 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. Arnaud Kalimuendo (15', 80') was the scorer for Rennes.

- are unbeaten in the league by Brest in their last 3 matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Nice
Tanguy Ndombélé (Pelvic injury), Mohamed Abdelmonem (Cruciate ligament tear) and Youssouf Ndayishimiye (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be able to play for Nice gaffer Franck Haise.
It looks as if Les Aiglons look set to make use of the 3-5-2 formation for this game, handing starts to Marcin Bulka, Antoine Mendy, Moise Bombito, Melvin Bard, Jonathan Clauss, Tom Louchet, Hicham Boudaoui, Morgan Sanson, Ali Abdi, Badredine Bouanani and Evann Guessand.

Brest manager Éric Roy has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jordan Amavi (Calf injury), Mama Baldé (Hamstring injury), Soumaïla Coulibaly (Adductor pain), Julien Le Cardinal (Hamstring injury) and Justin Bourgault (Toe injury) will miss out on this game.
From our viewpoint, Les Ty' Zefs could decide to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Marco Bizot, Kenny Lala, Edimilson Fernandes, Abdoulaye N'Diaye, Massadio Haidara, Mahdi Camara, Hugo Magnetti, Kamory Doumbia, Romain Del Castillo, Ludovic Ajorque and Mathias Pereira-Lage.
💡 Prediction
We envisage that Brest should have enough to find the back of the net against this Nice team, but that might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
Our tip is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Nice at the end of this one. Let’s see what eventuates.
