On Saturday night at Stade Francis-Le Blé, Brest will welcome Nice in another exciting Ligue 1 match. The Pirates, how Brest fans often call the team, are terrible at the start of the season, and Nice will hardly be a good opportunity for a turnaround. Let's break down the matchup and find the best possible betting option.

Nice are usually much better than Brest, as they have won six of the last nine H2H matches. Brest have won only one game during the span, while two games finished with a draw. Last season, Nice won both H2H matches, 1-0 in Brest and 6-0 in Nice.
Brest team overview
After a shocking third position in Ligue 1 two seasons ago, Brest returned to their usual mid-table last year. The Pirates expected something similar in the 2025/26 season, too, but they collected only one point in the opening four league rounds. Last weekend, Brest lost 2-1 at home against Paris FC. The home side surely deserved more from that match as they ended with xG of 2.57, while the guests had only 1.55. Brest's defense so far this season has been too leaky, which the head coach, Eric Roy, should focus on.
Brest's head coach, Eric Roy, recently talked about how hard the situation is. He said, "It's true that we don't have any means. But I am still shocked that we have a smaller budget than Metz, who are coming up from Ligue 2, when we are just coming out of the Champions League. But, well, it's unfortunately the state that the club is in."
Brest's Mama Balde suffered an injury against Paris FC and will not play on Saturday. Instead of Balde, Pathe Mboup should start. Brest will also be without Rawoslaw Majecki and Lucas Tousart against Nice.

Nice team overview
Last season, Nice returned among the best four Ligue 1 teams. However, they failed to qualify for the Champions League, as Franck Haise's team lost 4-0 on aggregate score against Benfica. Nice started Ligue 1 with a solid six points from four matches. Last weekend, they won 1-0 at home against Nantes. The home side almost doubled the opponent's xG, so Nice's victory was well-deserved.
Nice signed Charles Vanhoutte from Union SG on the last day of the summer transfer window. The Belgian has already shown qualities in his debut. After the match, the head coach, Franck Haise, commented on the performance. He said, "After two training sessions, everyone understood why I insisted on signing him. He is a very intelligent player with lots of reliability on many levels."
Nice have problems with missing players. They will be without Ali Abdi, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Moise Bombito, Djibril Coulibaly, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Tanguy Ndombele on Saturday in Brest.

Prediction
Brest are terrible in defense this season, but their attacking line is still solid enough as they scored in three of four Ligue 1 rounds. On the other hand, Nice scored in every one of the previous three matches. We should expect goals on both sides on Saturday night at Stade Francis-Le Blé. Our prediction: BTTS - Yes
3 Reasons why we should expect goals on both sides in this match
- Brest scored at least one goal in three of four matches this season
