Nice vs Brest Prediction 17 May 2025
🔊 Will the "Pirates" thwart Nice's Champions League ambitions? In the 34th round of Ligue 1, Brest travel to the Allianz Riviera, seeking revenge for their first-round home defeat (0-1). Should they succeed, it's highly likely that Nice will miss out on next season's premier European club competition. The hosts have another opportunity to deliver a strong performance and maintain their hold on 4th place without worrying about their rivals. Another slip-up won't be forgiven by the competition.
Head-to-Head
📊 The results of the last 10 head-to-head encounters favor Nice (5-3-2). The "Eaglets" also secured a win in the first round with a 1-0 scoreline. It's worth noting that the last 5 meetings have been low-scoring affairs, with just 3 goals scored across those matches. This trend suggests a bet on total goals under 3.5 for the upcoming game.
Head-to-head statistics Nice - Brest
Nice Team Overview
⚫️ After their recent defeat to Rennes, it seemed like Nice had let their chance slip and would drop out of the top four. However, all three of their rivals also lost, putting the "Eaglets" back in the driver's seat for the fourth Champions League spot. With equal points, they hold an advantage due to their superior goal difference. Thus, a victory would likely secure a successful end to the season for Nice. The players won't need extra motivation, as the fans will be urging the team forward from the first whistle.
🔗 In the last round, Nice saw their three-match winning streak come to an end, along with a run of seven consecutive games where they found the back of the net.

Stade Brest Team Overview
In the last round, Brest dashed the Champions League hopes of one contender by defeating Lille 2-0. The "Pirates" could very well pull off a similar feat against Nice. Franck Haise's side are finishing the season strong, with only two losses in their last nine matches. Given their poor start to the campaign, a victory would secure Brest a commendable 8th place finish. The question remains whether the players still have the motivation to push for it.
Brest's central defender Abdoulaye Ndiaye earned a spot in the Team of the Week for Ligue 1's 33rd round following his standout performance against Lille.
