Nantes vs Stade Brest Prediction: Good form over poor away record at the Stade de la Beaujoire?!

Nantes are back in action again this week after their defeat against league leaders PSG last weekend. The team managed to keep the scoreline within a reasonable distance, as they conceded only 2 goals from the high-flying PSG squad and they managed to get a goal for themselves, even though it was not enough to help them pick up at least a point. But their performance should not disappoint them so much.

 Stade Brest are the opponents against Nantes and they are playing away from home. Brest have placed themselves as easy favorites to win this clash because they come here with a better form and record. With no defeats in their last 4 league games, there is a strong chance they can come out of this clash with their shoulders high.

Nantes

Nantes have every reason to feel anxious when Stade Brest comes knocking this weekend. They have been very poor in the past 2 months and they need to turn things around as quickly as possible. They won only once in 6 matches played, with the remaining 5 matches ending in 4 defeats and 1 draw.

 Nantes lost their last game against PSG by a narrow 2:1 scoreline. They were behind in the 41st minute and they got the equalizer in the 55th minute through Mostafa Mohammed. But they failed to hang on and they lost the lead in the 83rd minute and the game ended 2:1 at full time.

 Despite the poor results, Nantes remain in 9th on the league table, with 18 points from 15 matches. They have 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 defeats throughout the season.

 Nantes have a lot to lose if the result doesn’t go their way in this match, and they will drop down the table almost certainly. But beating Nantes shouldn’t be too much of a surprise for Nantes, because they have won the last 4 matches against Stade Brest at the Stade de la Beaujoire.

Stade Brest

Stade Brest are the better team compared to Nantes, but their experience against Nantes away from home will give them a rethink on how to approach this one. Stade Brest are currently unbeaten in their last 4 league games. This result deserves all the attention considering that they had 3 defeats in a row a few weeks ago.

 Stade Brest most recent match was against Metz FC at the Stade Saint Symphorien and they won the game by a narrow 1-0 scoreline. The only goal was scored by Jeremy Le Douaron in the 75th minute and that was enough to guarantee all 3 points for Stade Brest.

 Brest are very interested in keeping the momentum and they need to beat Nantes in this game. Interestingly, they have lost on their last 4 visits to the Stade de la Beaujoire and their last match on that ground ended in a 4-1 defeat for Brest. It is a game Stade Brest will have to approach with caution.

 Brest are currently in 5th with 25 points from 15 league matches played. They won 7 matches, drew 4 and lost 4.

Head to Head

Nantes are ahead of Stade Brest on the head-to-head battle by some distance. In 13 matches played, Nantes won 8 matches, while Stade Brest won 3 matches and drew 2 matches.

Expert Analysis and Betting Options

Before jumping on the wagon for a Brest win, their experience at the Stade de la Beaujoire should be considered. Nantes are not much of a team at the moment, but playing with the support of the home fans behind them might ignite their confidence.

A win for Brest makes sense even judging by the analysis of both clubs. No losses in 4 league games for Stade Brest and they have opened scoring in 4 of their last 5 league matches. But is that enough to break the away curse?
