Brest vs Nice Predictions
Brest faithful let down last week after they failed to get the better of Lille in the street. Despite making the trip to Stade Pierre-Mauroy behind thumping 5-0 victory over Strasbourg in the home, the host barely made an impact in their last outing. Sadly, they complete ninety minutes with zero shots on target, while their enemies ten hit.
The home team has only one win to boast of the last five Ligue 1 clash. With twenty-one points in the bag, Brest is currently fourteenth in the stairs two points behind the thirteenth placed Nice.
Meanwhile, visitors have been alternating between victory and defeat in their last four matchups. their previous outing saw them on the losing end of a 4-1 scorecard to St Etienne, following which they took Metz at home, with the very scoreline.
Frankly, Nice has been faring poorly in their matches on the road. They did not come out on top in their last six games in Ligue 1 and have collected six points from their past eight as well.
In sharp contrast, Brest have a lot of confidence at home, and had stumbled only once so far. Given the far from convincing streak Nice which, far from home, Brest is the favorite to secure the bragging rights this weekend.
Be that as it may, the hosts have shared the spoils in four of their last nine games at home. Taking into account that they also had to admit defeat in their last two meetings with this enemy here, the size of the double chance to be the safest punt on this one.
In addition, the visitors had failed to find the back of the net just twice in their events this term, and has racked up eight goals to their tally so far.
It is also worth mentioning, that Brest has not kept a clean sheet in their last two clashes h2h here and have conceded six goals of the meeting only.
Brest scored with eight goals from the past three Ligue 1 matchups them here, expect both teams to have their scoring boots on come Saturday.
