Prediction: 1-1
Nice
Brest and Nice square off against 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 2-1 win over Reims, but they face a tough challenge against les Aiglons. Towering striker Ludovic Ajorque has lost his place in the starting XI, with Mama Balde likely to keep his place up front as a lone centre-forward. The likes of Massadio Haidara, Luck Zogbe, Romain Del Castillo, and Abdallah Sima miss out with injuries for the home side.
Nice, on the other hand, defeated ten-man Monaco 2-1 at the weekend, but beating Brest on the road is easier said than done. As for the visiting side, Gaetan Laborde could sneak into the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against Monaco. Anyhow, we predict that Brest and Nice are going to share the spoils at Stade Francis-Le Ble as they seem to be evenly matched at the moment. Veteran Dante remains on the sidelines with injury, alongside Tanguy NDombele, and Morgan Sanson.
