Brest vs Nantes Prediction & Betting Tips (15 December)

Brest is going through a delicate period in the championship. The SB29 has lost 3 of its last 4 meetings of the year, including Lille 3-1 recently, after defeating Strasbourg 3-1 at the end of November. The Brestois are 11th in Ligue 1 as the season reaches its halfway point and hold a 3-point lead over the virtual play-off. At the same time, the Breton team's enchanted parenthesis does not end in the Champions League. They dominated PSV Eindhoven 1-0 on Tuesday and moved considerably closer to qualifying for the next round. Direct access to the round of 16 of the C1 is possible for Brest.

 Nantes' last result should be marked with a hot iron. Unable to win a single Ligue 1 match since August 31, the Canaries put an end to this drought by taking over Rennes 1-0 last Sunday in the derby. A result coming after 10 matches without a win, 6 defeats, 4 draws. Despite this success, Antoine Kombaouré's team remains poorly ranked although it has cleared the relegation zone. She is now 13th and ahead of the virtual barrage by a small point. 

The Brest team remains impacted by the withdrawals of the long-term absentee Locko (no match), the important midfielder Les-Melou, the replacement Martin in the same position and the potentially starting defender Coulibaly who will not return before the end of the season. 'year. Still in the hinge, the captain Le Cardinal, heroic scorer against PSV, was injured and saw his 2024 year end prematurely while Ndiaye, who can help out at the back and was stitched on one foot, is uncertain . Striker Ajorque (4 goals in Ligue 1) will be suspended this Sunday but starting right back Lala could return to the starting lineup. The offensive Faivre remains uncertain. Bizot was valuable in his goal in front of the PSV attackers. There remains a captain of this formation.

Nantes presents itself at the Francis-Le-Blé stadium without the young Mahamoud who made a few appearances in the professional group last season. The offensive Kadewere, author of an achievement in the championship, has missed the last 4 matches and could still be lacking for his team. Simon scored his 4th goal of the season against Rennes and allowed his team to win. Antoine Kombouaré introduces a shake-up in the hierarchy of goalkeepers. While Lafont acted as number 1, the technician started Carlgren in the last two matches. A trend that he could continue against Brest.
