Stade Francis-Le Blé - Brest
Brest have lost two home games this season in Ligue 1 (1-5 v Marseille in MD1 and 0-1 v Nice today), as many defeats on home soil as last season.
Nice have won two consecutive Ligue 1 matches for the second time in 2024 (success against Strasbourg and Le Havre last April-May) - Nice have won two of their last five away matches in the top-flight (D2 L1), as many as in the previous 13 (D5 L6).
Nice have not lost any of their last six Ligue 1 matches (W3 D3), their longest unbeaten run in the top-flight in 2024.
Brest vs Nice was the only encounter not to have produced any goals last season in Ligue 1.
Brest have 14 clean sheets against Nice in Ligue 1, at least three more than against any other opponent. In fact, SB29 could record four consecutive clean sheets against OGCN for the first time in the top-flight.
Brest have won four of their last seven Ligue 1 games (D1 L2) but have yet to record consecutive wins in the top-flight this season.
Nice have not lost any of their last five Ligue 1 matches (W2 D3) and could enjoy their only longest unbeaten run in the top-flight in 2024 if they avoid defeat against Brest (also 5 last April).
Brest have won three of their last four Ligue 1 home games after winning none of their previous four (D2 L2), but their last home game ended in a draw (1-1 v Rennes).
