Brest hosts Nice this Saturday evening (7 p.m.) for the 10th day of Ligue 1. Here is everything you need to know about this meeting.
Before an important meeting in the Champions League on the lawn of Sparta Prague, Brest (10th, 13 points) will try to move into the first half of the table. Currently tied with Nice (8th, 13 points), the Breton club remains on four games without defeat at home.
The stats to know (with Opta)
Brest – Nice is the only team to have produced no goals in either leg or return last season in Ligue 1.
Brest have kept 14 clean sheets against Nice in Ligue 1, at least 3 more than against any other opponent. The SB29 could also keep 4 clean sheets against the Aiglons for the first time in the elite.
Brest have won 4 of their last 7 Ligue 1 matches (1 draw, 2 defeats) but have not yet had two wins in the top flight this season.
Nice have not lost any of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches (2 wins, 3 draws) and could experience their longest unbeaten run in the elite in 2024 (also 5 last April).
Brest have won 3 of their last 4 home games in Ligue 1 after not winning any of their previous 4 (2 draws, 2 defeats), but their last home game ended in a draw (1-1 against Rennes) .
Nice have only won 3 away games in Ligue 1 in 2024 (D6 L5) – with 3 away games remaining this year, the Aiglons are already guaranteed to record their lowest total since at least 2020 (5 – 10 successes in 2021, 7 in 2022 and 9 in 2023).
Two players from Brest could play their 150th meeting in Ligue 1 this weekend: Massadio Haïdara and Brendan Chardonnet. They would then be the 7th and 8th current SB29 players to count at least this number of matches in the elite, more than any other team.
Evann Guessand has found the net in his last two Ligue 1 matches – a first for him in the elite. With 5 goals in 9 games this season, he is only one achievement away from equaling his best total in an L1 season (6 in 2023/24, already with Nice).
