📏 Form Guide

Nantes

DWLDLL

Nantes will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-1 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of Nice.

In that game, Nantes managed 27% possession and 11 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. The only player to score for Nantes was Imran Louza (45'). On the other side, OGC Nice had 18 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Dante (27') and Khéphren Thuram (62') scored for Nice.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Nantes haven’t conceded. The facts show that Les Canaris have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals on the way. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.

Looking at their past form shows that Nantes:

• haven't beaten Brest in their last 2 league games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

Brest

LLWWLW

Brest will go into this match following on from a 1-0 Ligue 1 win with the defeat of Monaco in their most recent outing.

In that match, Brest managed 28% possession and 7 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Brest was Romain Faivre (8'). AS Monaco FC had 21 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.

Illustrating their fondness for action-packed encounters, we’ve had goals 22 times in the last six games in which Brest have played, yielding an average of 3.67 goals each clash. Opposing teams have managed 12 of this grand total.

📰 Team News: Nantes

Nantes boss Christian Gourcuff will be happy not to have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game thanks to a fully healthy group ready to go.

📋 Team News: Brest

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is just a single fitness issue for the Brest manager Olivier Dall’Oglio to be concerned with. Denys Bain (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Brest will need to push hard to get anything against this Nantes side who we think should emerge victorious.

Therefore, we predict a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for Nantes when the full-time whistle blows.

Hoping for a good game.
