Prediction: 1-0
Nantes
Brest and Nantes face each other at Stade Francis-Le Ble in what is expected to be a close Ligue 1 encounter. Les Pirates aim to build on a hard-fought Champions League win over PSV and they are seen as slim favourites to win Sunday’s clash as well. Key attacker Ludovic Ajorque is back from the Champions League ban, while all Romain Faivre, Jonas Martin, Pierre Lees-Melou, and Soumaila Coulibaly continue to miss out with injuries.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rennes, but given their five-game winless run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Nantes forward Tino Kadewere misses out with a muscle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their last home game in the French top flight Brest defeated Strasbourg 3-1.
