• Nice won the reverse fixture earlier in the season

Nice eye top 4, but will need to handle Brest first.

Nice host Brest in the final round of Ligue 1 fixtures, with plenty on the line for the home side. They need a win to guarantee a place in next season’s Champions League qualifying rounds. Nice, Lille, and Strasbourg are all tied on 57 points heading into the final day, though Nice currently hold the advantage on goal difference.

They take on a Brest side who have nothing to play for in terms of league position but come into this with some form, having picked up recent home wins against Montpellier and Lille. While Brest will be playing with freedom, the pressure is firmly on Nice to deliver, and they are expected to field their strongest XI.

From a betting perspective, goals look highly likely. If you had backed Both Teams to Score in every Nice game this season, you’d be in profit—70% of their matches have seen both sides find the net, a figure only bettered by PSG. Brest aren’t far behind either, with 58% of their games ending with both teams scoring, rising to 63% in away fixtures.

Given the high stakes for Nice and Brest’s tendency to get on the scoresheet, this has all the makings of an open and entertaining contest. Both Teams to Score looks the best here. Nice need the win a lot more, and will have home advantage, so expect them to relentless in their attempts here if the game is close. They should be able to do it with a 2-1 win here.
