Stade Brestois will host Nice at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday in another round of Ligue 1 football.
The home side have endured a rather difficult campaign and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They played out a 1-1 draw against Stade Reims last weekend and had looked set to head towards an unlikely victory before their opponents drew level from the penalty spot in additional time.
Nice have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of securing continental football at the end of the campaign. They were beaten 2-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in their last league outing before playing out a 2-2 draw against Basel in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinal clash on Thursday.
