Prediction: Brest vs Nice
Brest will be looking to capitalize on their recent momentum from a 2-1 win over Reims and their solid performances at home, making this an evenly balanced matchup against Nice. Although Brest has been resilient at Stade Francis-Le Ble, the team faces notable absences in their lineup, including Romain Del Castillo and Ludovic Ajorque, which could impact their attacking options.
Nice, meanwhile, comes into this game on the back of a confidence-boosting 2-1 victory over Monaco. With Gaetan Laborde pushing for a starting role and the team’s improved form, Nice could pose a significant challenge to Brest’s defense. However, Nice’s struggles on the road and the potential for a closely matched game suggest that neither team will have a decisive advantage.
Considering both teams’ recent performances, we predict a tightly contested game likely ending in a 1-1 draw, as both sides look evenly matched in key areas.
