Nice recently ended their two-match winning streak with a narrow 2-1 loss to Lyon, though the defeat was seen as undeserved. Looking to rebound, Nice are set to face another mid-table opponent, Brest, who have drawn three of their seven games this season. The outlook suggests both teams are likely to share the points in what is expected to be a balanced contest.

Little separates these two sides at the moment, Nice picking up good form in late September and looking good this month as well. Brest’s only home loss was to PSG, so a scoring draw is worth backing. 

Key Stats  


  • Brest have drawn 4 of their last 8 matches. 
  • Brest have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 9 matches. 
  • Brest have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches against Nice. 
  • Nice are unbeaten in 6 of their last 9 matches. 
  • Nice have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches. 

Nice Lead Head to Head 


This is going to be the 38th time these sides lock horns, Nice having a 15-12 advantage in terms of victories. 

Brest Solid at Home so Far 


Brest are having mixed results in the new Ligue 1 campaign, accumulating nine points in seven matches (two twins, three draws, two defeats) and currently sit middle of the table. 

Speaking of home appearances, they have drawn against Toulouse 2-2 in the premiere appearance at Stade Francis Le Ble, followed by a 1-0 loss to PSG and a 5-1 win against Angers. 

Last weekend, The Pirates gained an early lead through Mama Balde against favored Lille, then barely snatched a point in a 1-1 draw. They ended this clash with 0.78-2.17 expected goals, 33% possession and 8-17 shots. 

Eaglets Recovered From a Slow Start 


Nice are having a lot of problems with inefficiency this season, especially in the early stages, scoring just six goals in seven matches and currently occupy 13th place with eight points. 

After beating Lille 2-1 at home just before the international break, the Eaglets returned to action with another 2-1 victory in front of the home crowd against Strasbourg. 

Nice even gained an early lead against Lyon last weekend Elye Wahi finding the net in the 18th minute, but ultimately lost this encounter 2-1. They had 1.55-1.52 xG and 12-8 shots here.

Brest (4-2-3-1) Markus Selvik; Kenny Lala, Lucas Tousart, Gautier Lloris, Bradley Locko; Joris Chotard, Hugo Magnetti; Mama Balde, Kamory Doumbia, Pathé Mboup; Ludovic Ajorque

Hosts are dealing with multiple physical concerns, as Giovani Versini remains sidelined with a knee injury while Raphael Le Guen recovers from a broken fibula and captain Brendan Chardonnet carries a calf strain.

Nice (3-4-2-1) Yehvann Diouf; Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Ali Abdi; Jonathan Clauss, Hicham Boudaoui, Axel Witsel, Morgan Sanson; Gauthier Hein, Mohamed Amoura; Elye Wahi

Nice have arrived in Brest missing long-term absentees Laurent Abergel and Antoine Mendy due to cruciate ligament tears, while defender Moise Bombito remains questionable due to leg injury.

Verdict

Nice didn’t deserve to have their two-game winning streak ended last weekend with a narrow 2-1 defeat to Lyon. I will back them to share the spoils with another mid-table side, Brest, who have drawn three of their seven games so far.
