Nantes vs Brest Tips & Preview - Visitors to stand firm at troubled hosts
- Nantes seek get away from relegation zone, with a mixed recent record.
- Brest pursue European places, strong recent away form despite PSG loss.
- Brest unbeaten in last five meetings against Nantes, holding four wins.

Nantes vs Brest
Nantes are aiming to continue their push away from the relegation zone as they host Brest in a French Ligue 1 fixture on Friday.
The visitors have their sights set on the European places and have maintained a good record on their recent travels. With the hosts looking unconvincing at home, the visitors will fancy their chances of coming away with something here.
Nantes Form
Sitting just three points above the relegation zone, Nantes need to go on a run of positive results in order to put some distance between them and the bottom three. They will head into Friday’s clash unbeaten in six of their last seven matches across all competitions.
While an unbeaten run will give them confidence, a closer look reveals Nantes have only picked up one Ligue 1 win in their last six matches. That win came in their last fixture as they claimed a 2-1 victory at Reims to end a run of four draws and a defeat in their previous five matches.
Nantes have also been unconvincing at home, with one win from the last eight matches in front of their fans. Antoine Kombouare’s men have also scored and conceded in their last six matches across all competitions while three of the last five in that run have produced over 2.5 goals.
Brest Form
Brest head into Friday’s match off the back of a 5-2 home defeat to PSG in their previous Ligue 1 fixture. However, they had picked up three straight wins prior to that result and remain within five points of the European places.
Despite that defeat, manager Eric Roy will come into this one feeling confident as Brest have won their last three away matches across all competitions. They have also won their last two Ligue 1 fixtures on the road and claimed a 2-1 victory at Troyes in the Coupe de France on Tuesday.
While the defeat to PSG exposes how vulnerable Brest's defence can be, they often balance it out in attack and have scored in each of their last four Ligue 1 matches. Three of the fixtures in that run have also produced over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
While Nantes historically have the upper hand in this fixture, recent meetings have swung in favour of Brest, who are unbeaten in the last five meetings, with four wins in that run. The visitors have won the two clashes this season, easing to a 4-1 home victory in the reverse fixture before winning 2-1 in the Coupe de France in January.
Verdict
Nantes have not been at their best lately and have been plagued by too many draws, even at home. On the other hand Brest have shown their quality, especially on their travels and given their recent record in this fixture, can avoid defeat on Friday.
Both teams have some quality in attack and should score on Friday while this clash should produce over 2.5 goals for the third straight match.
