Brest
Ligue 1
Last season, these teams met twice. Brest won 4:1 at home, while the match at Allianz Riviera in Nice ended in a 2:2 draw. Looking further back, over the past ten h2h games, Brest won twice, while Nice won five times.
Regarding the number of goals, five out of the past ten h2h games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in three of those ten, but two of those happened last season.
Brest team overview
Brest had a terrible end of the season, which eventually pushed them to 12th place - seven points away from the danger zone. This season, the Pirates once again started the season pretty well, as they are in 10th place with nine points after the first seven rounds. Their league-table position isn't that impressive, but they've had good moments and look better than the table suggests. However, they have to clean up some things on the defense, and we could easily see them climbing the league table.
Coach Julien Lachuer should have no new injuries on the squad. However, Brendan Chardonnet, Raphael Le Guen, and Giovani Versini, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

Nice team overview
Nice had a strange last season. They reached the Coupe de France Final, but also had to look for survival in the Playout, where they beat St Etienne. This year, the popular Eaglets once again opened the season not that great, with obvious problems on offense. After the first seven rounds, they are in 13th place with eight points. So, it's only a one-point difference from Brest, but Brest looked a bit better.
After a 2:1 loss to Lyon, coach Olivier Pantaloni spoke to the media. He said they deserved at least one point after creating several chances, hitting the crossbar and the post. The coach was obviously disappointed, but also urged his players to take the positives from their improved second-half display.
When it comes to injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Antoine Mendy, Moise Bombito, Laurent Abergel, and Ali Abdi should remain sidelined.

Prediction
Brest lost only two out of seven games this season. And at home, their only loss in three games was against PSG, but only by 1:0. They looked very good in that loss, having 1.35 xG, compared to PSG's 1.06.
On the other hand, Nice were atrocious on the road, losing all three matches and scoring a mere one goal. They generally have problems on offense and are currently the third-worst offensive team.
Last season, Brest dominated Nice at home in an H2H game, winning 4:1. Considering all the above, we believe the hosts are closer to winning the upcoming Ligue 1 tie.
5 Reasons why Brest should (AH 0) win
- Brest won four points in the past two games
- Brest lost only to PSG in their three home games
- Nice lost all three road games
- Nice scored one goal in three road games
- Brest won their last h2h game 4:1 at Stade Francis-Le Blé
