Nice vs Brest Prediction – Ligue 1

The home team currently sits in 4th place, having accumulated 57 points from 16 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a home victory against Reims (1‑0), but in their latest match, they suffered a defeat away to Rennes (2‑0). Nice is notably stronger at home, where they have garnered 34 points, compared to just 23 on the road. In their last 10 league games at home, Nice has recorded 7 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, accumulating 22 points from a possible 30. Their most common score at halftime in home matches has been 1‑0 (7 in 16 games). Although their defence has shown vulnerabilities—conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 matches—the attack has consistently found the net in 8 of the last 10 games. Additionally, there is a trend for goals in their home fixtures, as 15 of their last 16 matches for the competition have concluded with more than 1.5 goals. Out of 33 games, they conceded the first goal 9 times but managed to come back only 2 times.

Nice comes into this match following a 2-0 defeat against Rennes. For this home fixture, manager Franck Haise will likely maintain a 3-5-2 formation, with Evann Guessand and Badredine Bouanani expected to lead the attack. Offensively, Nice prefers to attack down the right flank, where the runs of back Jonathan Clauss add depth and unpredictability to their match. However, they will be without Tanguy Ndombélé, Mohamed Abdelmonem, and Youssouf Ndayisheye due to injury.
