Nice vs Brest Prediction

The top two teams in the Ligue 1 standings will come across each other on Sunday afternoon in Gameweek No 7 as Nice play host to shocking leaders Brest at Allianz Riviera.

Both teams claimed big scalps last weekend. Nice dispatched Monaco 0-1 on the road thanks to a late goal from substitute Jeremie Boga.

It was a weird game in which Nice were a better team on the pitch throughout most of the affair in which Monaco’s striker Folarin Balogun missed two penalties.

After the victory at Stade Louis II, Nice are now one of just two undefeated teams in the league. They have three wins and draws each in the opening six rounds and they’ve allowed only four goals in the process. This is good enough to keep them at the top of the competition’s defensive charts at the moment.

Brest have also been fairly difficult to break down so far in the season, shipping six goals in six outings this term. They have kept their net untouched in a brilliant performance in a 1-0 victory over Lyon. Brest registered 27 shots, 11 of which went on target on the occasion.

Latest Meetings

The home court advantage has played a big role in the history of this matchup. Nice have four wins and three draws in the previous seven encounters with Brest.

The teams managed a win each in their head to head games in the previous term of Ligue 1.

We did not see goals at both ends in any of the previous three matches between Nice and Brest.

The Verdict

This is the match between two of the most pleasant surprises of the season so far. Both teams have been very tough to break down in the last several weeks.

Knowing the last season’s H2H clashes offered two low-scoring outings, we like the Under 2.5 goals FT pick very much here at the 1.90 odds. As for the outcome, we will stick to the hosts and back Nice to win at the 1.72 odds.
