Brest vs Nantes Prediction 15 January 2025

🔊 Which Ligue 1 representative will exit the current national cup draw right now? In the Round of 16 of the French Cup, Brest will face Nantes. The hosts are considered favorites, as they have looked better throughout the season and have the home advantage. However, Nantes, having suffered only one defeat in their last six matches, is ready to challenge their opponent. Our editorial team evaluated the clubs' chances of success in this head-to-head meeting and made a prediction for the game.

📊 H2H

In head-to-head meetings, Nantes holds an advantage with five wins in the last ten matches. Brest has won only three times, but all these victories occurred in the past two years, while the "Canaries" haven't won in this matchup since October 2022. Therefore, it is worth considering the option of Brest to win with a handicap (0).

🔴 Brest

Brest has had some rough patches, which have prevented the team from performing as impressively as they did last season. However, the "Red and Whites" are currently on an upswing, as seen in their recent results. In their last five matches, they have secured four victories, including a win over Nantes (4:1), whom they will face for a spot in the Round of 16. Considering the result of the previous encounter, the team should approach this matchup with full confidence in their abilities.

🟡 Nantes

Lately, Nantes has not been performing as poorly as they were recently. It all started with an unexpected draw against PSG (1:1), after which the "Yellow-Greens" gained momentum and began collecting points in almost every round. In their last six matches, Nantes has suffered only one defeat. This is despite facing several top French clubs. In just the previous two rounds, the "Canaries" managed to take points from Lille (1:1) and Monaco (2:2).

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Currently, Nantes is performing very well in attack, scoring in six consecutive matches. Even in that ill-fated match against Brest, which the "Canaries" disastrously lost, they still managed to score. A clean sheet victory is unlikely for the hosts, so our editorial team recommends betting on Both Teams to Score: Yes.

🚩 Corner Prediction

These teams usually do not produce an abundance of corner kicks, with average figures of 7.5 and 8.5 respectively. In the previous encounter between Brest and Nantes, which took place a month ago, there were only five corners taken. We believe it's worth betting on Total Corners Under 9.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Brest demonstrated their superiority over their opponent in a recent Ligue 1 meeting between these teams. Although Nantes was not significantly outplayed and also created scoring chances, the "Red and Whites" did not quite earn a dominant victory. Therefore, expecting a large scoreline now seems unrealistic; a narrow win by the hosts seems much more likely. We believe Brest can win with a score of 2:1.

Considering the current form of the teams, their head-to-head history, and overall circumstances, Brest appears to be the clear favorite in the battle for a spot in the Round of 16 of the French Cup. Thus, our editorial team is betting on Brest advancing to the next round.
