Nice vs Brest Predictions

Visitors are worth backing against

Nice are the best bet to win at home to Brest on Sunday. The visitors have lost four times in their last five Ligue 1 away games and could be heading for another defeat here.

Brest are one place above Nice in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts are 13th with six wins and ten losses, while Brest sit 12th having won six and lost nine.

Nice have kept six clean sheets in the last eight Ligue 1 meetings with Brest.

Backing Brest’s opponents during their current run of three defeats in four Ligue 1 games would have resulted in a profit of 2.07 units.

Brest’s recent away form has been disappointing, with three defeats in their last four Ligue 1 games on the road. They come into this match having lost their last two away matches.

The visitors’ defence is a concern. Brest have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight games and have conceded 18 goals on the road this season – an average of two goals per game from nine matches.

At least one of these sides has failed to find the net in seven of the last eight Ligue 1 head-to-head clashes, and a narrow 1-0 home success for Nice appeals as the correct-score pick.
