Season ticket holders at Stade Francis-Le Ble haven't seen too many victories this season, with Brest languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Nice will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It's quite the trip for Nice when visiting Brest as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.
