Brest are steadily improving after a slow start to the season and will look to maintain their momentum when they host Nice. Les Pirates are currently on a five-match unbeaten run and will feel confident facing Les Aiglons. Here’s our preview and prediction.
Brest has achieved their first five-match unbeaten streak since January 2024, when they went on to have ten consecutive unbeaten matches. They’ll be aiming for a similar run this time. Notably, Eric Roy’s side is unbeaten in their last three encounters with Nice, although the last two ended in draws.
While Nice hasn’t beaten Brest in their last three meetings, they have historically dominated this fixture, losing just once in the last seven matchups and winning four times. They recently secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Monaco, ending their undefeated start to the season.
However, Nice still needs to address their defensive issues, as they haven’t kept a clean sheet in five matches. Despite this, they’ve scored in nine of their last twelve matches across all competitions. In their last six away league games, Nice has managed only one clean sheet and one win.
Given Brest’s current form and Nice’s defensive struggles, this matchup promises to be competitive.
