Betting on Brest
Although Brest’s season is currently in a decent moment, adding points and not knowing defeat for three matchdays now, the Pirates still have the tough task of getting favorable results to save themselves from the threat of relegation. I t’s worth noting that the home team is currently in sixteenth place with 28 points in the French standings, just two points away from the dangerous relegation zone.
In the last game, coached by Éric Roy, Brest managed to secure an away draw against Reims with a score of 1-1. Although the result wasn’t what the team wanted, it could keep adding points in the Ligue 1 standings, which is something it cannot afford to stop doing in this final stretch of the championship.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Marco Bizot; Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Lilian Brassier, Jean-Kévin Duverne; Pierre Lees-Melou, Haris Belkebla, Romain Del Castillo, Franck Honorat, Jérémy Le Douaron; Steve Mounié.
Betting on OGC Nice
On the other hand, Nice has been going through a series of bad results that have been distancing tit from the top spots in the Ligue 1 standings. The Eagles haven’t had a local league win since February 26, when they beat Monaco 3-0 away.
Coming back to the current situation, Nice, coached by Didier Digard, arrives at this match after suffering a 2-0 loss at home against the leader Paris Saint-Germain. This result, after a series of four consecutive draws, saw the team disappointingly fall in front of its own fans. Not only that, but it also forced the team to finish matchday 30 in 9th place in the French standings with 45 points, seven points away from the qualification zone for the next edition of the Conference League.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Kasper Schmeichel; Antoine Mendy, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante Bonfim. Melvin Bard; Pablo Rosario, Aaron Ramsey, Khéphren Thuram-Ulien; Gaëtan Laborde, Terem Moffi, Nicolas Pépé.
JefeBet Prediction
While we are aware of the significant drop in form of Nice, we cannot deny the firepower the team has shown throughout the season in Ligue 1. Brest’s current form is not entirely convincing, and coupled with the huge goal difference of +10 vs -14 in favor of the visitors, we at JefeBet believe that the Riviera team is the favorite to win this Brest vs Nice match.
Prediction: Nice Moneyline (BRE 1-2 NIZ).
