Nantes hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 16th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Brest holds 11th place with 9 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Nantes form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Nantes's two home games in the Ligue 1 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau.
Nantes lost their last game at Nice (placed 8th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Nice (1-2).
Nantes's goalkeeper Alban Lafont was extremely busy against Nice, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nantes have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost five.
At Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau, Nantes has the goal stats of 4-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Brest form and stats
Things could have gone better for Brest in their Ligue 1 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Brest are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Ligue 1 against Monaco (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Angers SCO wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Brest have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were zero victories, three draws and six defeats.
Brest have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. The Brest manager O. Dall’Oglio has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
