Brest vs Nice: Prediction for the Match on September 20, 2025

Brest will welcome Nice to the Stade Francis-Le Blé in the fourth round of the Ligue 1. Brest are in 17th place in the league standings and Nice are in eighth place. Who's going to come out on top? Let us check out the match preview, team news, and betting odds to place your bets!

Brest: Form and Statistics

Form: LLLD

Brest understands what it means to stumble out of the blocks. It has been a sluggish beginning for the home team in the current Ligue 1 campaign. They hold a spot in the pair of sides that have yet to record a win in their first four league games. This currently sees them located in the bottom two of the league standings.

Les Pirates began the season with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Lille. The momentum didn't last long as they chalked up three consecutive losses. Their most recent league game ended in a 2-1 home defeat against newly-promoted Paris FC.

Éric Roy's charges are still searching for their first home win. The fans have been left frustrated as their side have gone two league games without a win at Stade Francis-Le Blé. So far, they have gone two matches without a win.

Brest: Team News

Brest have two players in the injury room. This includes new entrant Mama Balde (thigh injury) and Lucas Tousart (ankle injury).

Head coach Éric Roy will make changes to the starting lineup that lost against Paris FC. He could replace the injured Mama Balde with Pathe Mboup on the left wing.

Radoslaw Majecki remains suspended after receiving a red card against Lens. Gregoire Coudert is expected to remain between the posts in his absence.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Coudert; Locko, Diaz Jr., Chardonnet, Lala; Magnetti, Chotard, Doumbia; Mboup, Ajorque, Del Castillo.

⛔️ Out: Mama Balde (thigh injury), Lucas Tousart (ankle injury).

👤 Head coach: Éric Roy.

Nice: Form and Statistics

Form: WLWL

For a team that finished in fourth place in the previous season, one can confidently state that Nice's performance in the current campaign has been shaky.

Les Aiglons have won two and lost two of their last four league games. Their most recent league game was against Nantes FC. Jeremie Boga's match-deciding goal in the 56th minute was enough to see them secure a 1-0 home victory.

Franck Haise's men are on the road this time and are hoping to snap a two-match losing streak. That shouldn't be a problem considering their last away match against Brest ended in a 1-0 victory, a result they'll want to replicate.

Nice: Team News

Nice enters this clash plagued with injuries. They have as many as seven players in the injury room, including Mohamed Abdelmonem (knee injury), Ali Abdi (groin injury), Djibril Coulibaly (injury), Dante (knee injury), Youssouf Ndayishimiye (knee injury), Mohamed-Ali Cho (injury), and Tanguy Ndombele (groin injury).

Other than that, head coach Franck Haise will field his top-choice eleven in this upcoming encounter. We could see a 3-4-2-1 formation with Kevin, who has yet to score for his team, leading the attack.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-2-1): Diouf; Bard, Bah, Peprah; Clauss, Boudaoui, Vanhoutte, Gouveia; Diop, Boga; Kevin.

⛔️ Out: Mohamed Abdelmonem (knee injury), Ali Abdi (groin injury), Djibril Coulibaly (injury), Dante (knee injury), Youssouf Ndayishimiye (knee injury), Mohamed-Ali Cho (injury), Tanguy Ndombele (groin injury).

👤 Head coach: Franck Haise.

Brest vs Nice Match Prediction 20 September 2025

Brest have had a tough time against this opponent. It comes as no surprise that they are underdogs in front of their home crowd. They have failed to win in their last four meetings, recording two losses and two draws. I don't see them making waves here. Their home form in the league has also left much to be desired, going two games without a win.

Nice are in a great mood heading into this clash. Their last league game ended in victory, and they will aim to make it two wins in a row. In this fixture, they are currently on a two-match winning streak. I see them securing maximum points in this one, and I'm supporting them in the full-time market.
