Command Analysis

Nantes

Current form
In 2025, Nantes is still undefeated in Ligue 1. The club has played five matches in the national championship. Four matches were drawn and one match was won. Such indicators allowed us to leave the relegation zone and move away from it by three points. Did the team's management really wait for head coach Antoine Comboire to find an approach to the players, because despite his unsuccessful performances in the first round, he was not removed from his post, but left to fix the situation? Now the task is not easy, you need to make every effort to avoid being in the "red" zone again.
Historically, Nantes plays well on its own field against the upcoming opponent. If you go into details, then in four of the last five matches in front of the local public, the hosts won, and only in the last face-to-face confrontation they suffered a fiasco, losing with a score of 0.:2. At the moment, the hosts are in good shape, but the opponent is not going to close in his penalty area, because Brest's standings also leave much to be desired.
In the transfer market, Nantes did not prove anything to anyone and did not make high-profile sales and purchases. Jean-Philippe Gbamen left the team as a free agent, who moved to Zurich, and Francis Coquelin also came as a free agent, and Meshak Elia, who previously played for the Young Boys, was hired. Let's see if the newcomers can somehow strengthen the team's game.

Zese is injured, and Palua is disqualified.

Approximate composition: Lopez – Coco, Sou, Castelletto, Cozza –Chirivella, Coquelin, Lepenan – Ablin, Mohamed, Simon.

Brest

Current form
Brest has a very busy schedule. Last weekend, Eric Roy's team played PSG in the national championship and lost that match with a score of 2:5. Then, three days later, on February 4, there was a match in the French Cup with Troyes, and the Bretons won that match with a minimum score of 2:1. The following week There will be a historic Champions League playoff game with PSG, and, of course, Brest wants to approach that match in optimal condition, but it is also impossible to lose points in the national championship, since in this case the gap from the European Cup place may increase, and it is currently considerable. Five points.
This season, Brest demonstrates an attacking game and does not stay too long in its penalty area. It doesn't matter who the team is playing against, whether it's a representative of the lower division of France or a European grandee in the person of Real Madrid.
So far, Brest is playing on three fronts, and it is in Ligue 1 that the results are not what we would like. There is a great chance to improve the standings, because the opponent is lower in the ranking, but it all depends on what instructions Eric Roy gives for the match. Will the team play in energy-saving mode, or will they give their best and recover in a few days before the most important game against PSG in the Champions League?
Disqualifications and injuries
Loko and Amawai will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Brest does not lose five matches in a row to the upcoming opponent.
- In the last three matches, the guests conceded
- On the road, Brest failed to distinguish itself in only one of the last four meetings.
Approximate composition: Bizot Lala, Chardonnay, Ndiaye, Haidara Li Melu, Magnetti, Camara Del Castillo, Ajork, Sima.

3.60Tip and bets
Both teams demonstrate an open style of play. In 2025, Nantes played six games in all tournaments, and in each match there were no zeroes on the scoreboard. At the same time, Brest hit and conceded at the same time in 15 of the 20 matches played in Ligue 1. Less than a month ago, the teams played each other in the national cup, and then two opponents also scored. We are inclined to believe that this time no one will "park the bus" at their gates, and both the hosts and the guests will score in 90 minutes of playing time.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.93
Betting on the outcome
Over the past year and a half, the teams have played five matches against each other. Brest won four games and once the match ended in a draw. The guests have a complicated game calendar right now, so it would be reckless to spend all their energy on this match. It is unlikely that the Bretons will be able to win Victoria on the road this time, but in theory they should not lose to such an opponent as Nantes.
Our forecast is a draw with a coefficient of 3.15
Betting on corners
Nantes takes 5.1 corners on average per match, while Brest takes 4.3. The numbers are not that big, but given that the opponents promote an open style of play, we are inclined to believe that they will be able to make quite a few serves from the corner flag between the two of them.
Our forecast is a total of more than 8.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.80
