Nantes vs Brest Prediction 7 February 2025

🔊 Will Brest be able to defeat Nantes for the third time this winter? In the 21st round of Ligue 1, the teams will meet at the “Beaujoire” stadium, which means that the “Canaries” will have some advantage. Along with that, they have a chance to redeem themselves for the two defeats they suffered against their opponent in December and January in away matches. Our editorial team evaluated the teams' chances of success and came up with its prediction.

📊 H2H

Recently, Brest managed to establish parity in head-to-head encounters: over the last ten matches between these teams, both recorded four victories each. However, Nantes has not won any of the previous five encounters, so it is worth considering the option Brest will not lose.

🟡 Nantes

Nantes achieved a long-awaited victory in the national championship by defeating Reims away (2:1). This result was exactly what the team needed after four consecutive draws. Now, the “Yellow-Greens” can at least temporarily feel safe and not worry about the threat of falling into the relegation zone. However, they have not yet managed to climb up the standings: the “Canaries” occupy 14th place in Ligue 1, having gained 21 points in 20 rounds.

There have been no changes in Nantes' infirmary over the past week. Defender Zeze, midfielder Douglas Augusto, and forwards Kadewere and Mahamoud are still not ready. Additionally, experienced central defender Pallois will not play in the next match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

🔴 Brest

Brest is managing to survive a very intense match schedule. Over the past month, the team has played nine games across all competitions. However, the “Red-Whites” have maximized their capabilities and performed brilliantly in the French championship. The only failures were in the Champions League, where the team had long secured a place in the playoffs.

It's surprising that Brest's infirmary was not overcrowded during this period and overall underwent not too significant changes. Currently, defenders Amavi and Loko, as well as midfielders Aydara and Martin, are in the club's infirmary.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Brest showed their superiority over their opponent in the last two matches, achieving victories on both occasions. Meanwhile, Nantes has conceded in six consecutive matches and will now have to play without two key defenders. Our editorial team believes that in this case, it's worth betting on a Brest Goal.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Nantes has a negative statistic on corner kicks (4.4 to 5.4 on average) and won only one out of the last six matches by this metric. We believe that here you can bet on Brest not losing on corners.

📝 Match Prediction

Brest handled Nantes without much trouble both in Ligue 1 and in the Coupe de France in recent meetings. However, there was a home advantage, which will not be present this time. Moreover, the “Canaries” put up resistance and scored in both cases. The most likely outcome of the match at “Beaujoire” seems to be a draw. We predict that the match will end with a score of 1:1.

It will be very difficult for Nantes to confirm their status as favorites, let alone achieve a clean victory. After all, Brest has good scoring performance in Ligue 1 (31 goals in 20 rounds), and Nantes will not have an optimal defensive lineup. Our editorial team recommends betting on Both Teams to Score: Yes.
