Brest vs Nantes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Brest's recent record against Nantes is an impressive one. They have won their last three meetings, and have not conceded a single goal in any of them. The last time Nantes won this game was in October 2022.
• Brest's recent league form has been relatively poor. They have fallen to defeat in four of their last five matches, and last weekend saw them beaten 3-1 at the hands of Lille.
• In European competition, however, Brest have favored much better. In their first-ever UEFA Champions League campaign, they picked up their fourth win on Tuesday by beating PSV Eindhoven. This leaves them in 7th place and gives them a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.
• Last weekend saw Nantes pick up their first win since August 31. They defeated Rennes, snapping a winless run of ten matches in the process. Given their previous result saw them secure a draw with Paris St. Germain, this could mark the beginning of a turnaround in their fortunes.
• Nantes' problems this season have largely come in front of goal. With 16 scored, they are Ligue 1's fifth-lowest scorers, and they have only scored more than one goal in four of their games this season.

Brest vs Nantes Prediction

Despite their European campaign going far smoother than their domestic one thus far at least, Brest will still be confident coming into this game.

They have only suffered two losses in all competitions at home this season, and while they did fall to Lille last weekend, their win over PSV will have helped them to bounce back.

Nantes, meanwhile, are profligate in front of goal, and while they did win over Rennes last weekend, the victory came following a very late strike and saw their opponents have an equalizer ruled out.

This game might not be overly easy for Brest, but it's one they should win nonetheless.

Prediction: Brest 1-0 Nantes
