Brest vs Nantes Prediction 4 October 2025
🔊 Will Brest secure their third consecutive victory in Ligue 1? The "Reds" are currently riding high, but they face a challenging test in the seventh round of the French championship against Nantes. The "Canaries" haven't been dazzling this season, yet they remain unbeaten in the last two rounds, promising a fiercely contested battle. Read our prediction for this match in our article.
Head-to-Head
📊 Brest have celebrated victory in five of the last six encounters between these teams, with one match ending in a draw. Nantes have struggled in this head-to-head, with their last win coming back in 2022.
Head-to-head statistics Brest - Nantes
Stade Brest Team Overview
🔴 In the opening four rounds of the French championship, Brest managed to secure only one point, but in the last two, they picked up six. Was this a fluke or a trend? We believe it's a combination of both! In their match against Nice, where the "Reds" triumphed 4-1, luck played a role. By the 9th minute, Eric Roy's men were already leading 2-0, and despite having only 38% possession, they managed to score two more goals.
⚪ In their latest outing, Brest confidently dispatched Angers away (2-0). Once again, they struck relatively early with goals in the 26th and 32nd minutes. As soon as the "Pirates" took the lead, they immediately shifted to a defensive stance and ceded control to their opponents: possession was at 42%, with only 3 shots on target and 4 corners. Brest gets the job done early in the match and then sees it through to a logical conclusion.

Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes find themselves in the relegation zone, sitting 16th, and are among the contenders for a drop to Ligue 2. This season, the French league is crowded with teams in similar positions, which slightly boosts the Canaries' chances of retaining their top-flight status. However, Luís Castro needs to address the quality of his squad's performances immediately.
🟢 In their last two fixtures, Nantes avoided defeat-a positive sign-but managed to secure only two points, which is less than ideal. Nonetheless, they recorded two high-scoring draws: against Rennes (2-2) and Toulouse (2-2). These results stand out from their usual statistics, as the Yellow-Greens have scored just five goals in the league overall, with four of those coming in these two matches. Such transformations are happening with Nantes!

Latest news
Stade Brest
⚽ Defender Justin Bourgo will be unavailable for the upcoming match as he has been called up to the French U21 team. He has already featured in two matches for them-against South Africa and the USA.
❌ Forward Remi Labo's participation in the next game is doubtful due to an injury he sustained during the sixth round of Ligue 1 against Angers. In that match, Labo started but was substituted in the 63rd minute. He has been diagnosed with an elbow injury, and it's too early to assess the severity of the damage.
Nantes
⚽ Louis Leroux will be unavailable for Nantes in the upcoming match as he has been called up to the French U21 national team. According to local media, Gérald Baticle, the head coach of the French youth squad, personally requested permission from the Nantes head coach for the player's departure.
❌ There is uncertainty over the participation of Nantes' key midfielder, Johan Lepenant, in the match against Brest. He picked up an injury in the last round against Toulouse and was substituted in the 83rd minute. It's worth noting that Johan Lepenant had played in every match this season prior to this incident.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the upcoming match is Gaël Angoula. On average, across 77 matches he has officiated, Angoula hands out 3.19 yellow cards per game, with 25 fouls. In the last 6 matches of the current French league season, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Brest averages 1.3 per game, while Nantes averages 1.5. Considering how few warnings these teams receive and Angoula's lenient approach, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
The individual goal totals for the teams in the French league show a significant difference, but overall both sides score modestly. Brest averages 1.8 goals per game over six rounds, while Nantes manages just 0.8. We believe the upcoming match will be low-scoring and recommend betting on total goals under 3.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Neither team is known for taking many corners, as this season's stats confirm. Brest averages 4 corners per match in Ligue 1, while Nantes averages 3.8. It's unlikely these numbers will change significantly in the upcoming game, so we suggest betting on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Nantes have shown a bit more aggression in recent rounds, but it's worth noting that their opponents weren't the strongest, allowing them to play open football. However, this is more of an exception, as earning points against tougher teams requires a different approach. Brest, on the other hand, are steady and consistent, having won two consecutive matches, so we anticipate a victory for the hosts in this encounter with a scoreline of 1-0. Considering the "Reds" have triumphed in the last three head-to-heads against Nantes, we suggest the main bet - Brest to win.
