Nice vs Brest Prediction & Match Preview

Nice vs Brest
French Ligue 1
Date: Friday 21st February 2020
Kick off at 18:00 UK/ 19:00 CET
Venue: Stade Allianz Riviera.

Nice come into this game in 9th place and have 36 points and despite their inconsistency only 4 points separates them from 4th place.

Last weekend they beat Toulouse 2-0 and that was an expected win against the side in bottom place.

Overall recent form has been mixed for the club though who have won 8 points from their last five games and lost just once, but they are finding it very hard to string a couple of wins together.

At home they have won 7 of their 13 matches which is good, but they did lose their last match here going down 3-1 to Nimes. But that was the clubs first defeat at home in over four months and they will be the favourites to get all three points here.

Brest are in decent form and have gone their last 3 games unbeaten. Last weekend they were involved in a thrilling five goal match that ended with victory by 3-2 over Saint Etienne. They are in 13th place but a win here would actually see them join Nice on the same points.

On the road tells a different story for the club and from their total of 33 points in the league so far they have only won 9 of those away from home. They have lost 60% of their games and are almost conceding 2 goals per game. Their last away result was decent though as they drew 0-0 with Rennes.

Nice vs Brest: Head to Head

The teams have not played at Nice since 2012 when the game ended 4-2 to Nice.

Earlier this season in the reverse fixture the clubs drew 0-0.

6 of the last 9 meetings have ended in under 2.5 goals.

Nice vs Brest Prediction

Brest are not an easy team to play but they do have a poor record away from home and also what is interesting is that they do not perform well at Nice’s ground.

Nice have to learn how to win back to back games, and they have the quality to do so.

We will back them here but will add more value to our selection by backing them to get off to a positive start and be leading the game at half time.

If they are to win one goal may not do the job and we will back them to score at least 2 goals against a side in Brest who look very leaky away from home.

Nice vs Brest Bet Tips:

• Nice to beat Brest at 1.91 (10/11)

• Nice to score 2+ goals at 1.83 (5/6)
