Summary
With two teams at conflicting ends of the Ligue 1 form table facing off on the weekend, Brest hosts Nice at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Brest, who are still seeking their first victory of the season, are at the bottom of the table after losing three in a row. Nice, meanwhile, returns to a winning form after beating Nantes and will be looking to build upon that with another strong away performance.
Team news
Brest: Mama Baldé left at halftime last weekend with a suspected thigh injury. Lucas Tousart was also absent due to a calf strain. Hugo Magnetti is back after a suspension, while Radoslaw Majecki is still out. Grégoire Coudert came in at goal for the Paris FC match and should keep his starting spot. Romain Del Castillo scored a penalty last weekend, which was his first goal of the season.
Nice: Many players remain injured, including Youssouf Ndayishimiye and Mohamed Abdelmonem (cruciate ligament injuries). Moise Bombito (shin), Tanguy Ndombele and Ali Abdi (groin), and Mohamed Ali-Cho (knock) are all doubtful. Jeremie Boga has scored two goals this season and will likely lead the attack once again. Yehvann Diouf kept a clean sheet for the club in his last outing as a summer signing.
Match Preview
Brest have had a hard start to the season, getting only two points from their first four games, their worst start to a campaign since 2021/22. A 2-1 home defeat to Paris FC last weekend highlighted the team's continued defensive vulnerabilities, with five total goals conceded across two matches at home. Eric Roy’s men are in danger of losing four of their first five league matches for the first time since 2006/07, and another serious defeat here would mark the longest losing streak under Roy since he became head coach in 2023.
Still, there are small positives. Brest have scored in 12 consecutive home matches in Ligue 1, and four of their five total goals came at the Stade Francis-Le Blé this season. Maintaining that attacking threat will be key if they are to break their losing streak.
Nice came into the match with increased confidence after edging out Nantes 1-0, a match that also gave them their first clean sheet of the season. Franck Haise’s side have been rather inconsistent this season, but they do have a great recent record against Brest that they would like to keep intact - they are unbeaten in their last nine Ligue 1 matches, and have not conceded in the last seven matches.
Les Aiglons also have a strong record when scoring first - after scoring first, they have gone on to win six league matches in a row. With Jeremie Boga
