Command Analysis
Brest
Current form
Brest has shown a confident performance in recent rounds and has not lost in two consecutive matches. First, Julien Lachois's team defeated Angers (5-1), scoring four goals in the first half and finishing the game in the majority. But in the last confrontation, the team gave battle to Lille. The Pirates opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and in the second half they conceded from the penalty spot and ended the match with a 1-1 draw.
At this stage of the Ligue 1 Brest has nine points and is in 11th place in the standings. The Pirates continue to fight for a place in the top ten and have created a three-point lead from the danger zone, but losing points may affect the results of the Lachois team.

Brest has earned an average of one yellow card in the past five games.
The team had won two in a row before the last round, beating Lille and Strasbourg with the same score of 2:1. The trip to Lyon was very difficult, and Olivier Pantanoli's players could not score points. The meeting ended in favor of Lyon. The Eagles opened the scoring in the 18th minute, but conceded two goals before the break. The second half was scoreless and Nice was defeated – 1:2 in the end.
At this stage, the club from the Côte d'Azur has eight points in the asset and continues to fight for its place in the elite of French football. Nice is only two points away from the danger zone, and another loss of points could send the red-blacks to the bottom of the standings again.

The injured Bombito, Abergel and Mendy will not help the team.
Interesting betting trends
The team has scored an average of one goal since the start of the championship.
The eaglets cannot win against their opponent in two consecutive games.
Today's match is very important for the home team. The Pirates are currently on the rise and have not lost to Nice in the last two head-to-head matches, and in the last game they defeated the Eaglets on their own field (4:1). It will be difficult for the club from the Cote d'Azur in Brest, and if you pay attention to the recent away meetings of the guests, you will immediately notice the fact that the Bretons are the favorites – Pantonoli's wards have not won away since the start of the season and scored only one goal. Let's bet that the pirates will leave their opponent with nothing.
The betting tip is Brest's victory with a coefficient of 2.25
Brest and Nice, in our opinion, will score goals today. The Bretons look more powerful in attack - 13 goals scored, and in the last two face-to-face games in a row, there was an exchange of goals. But Pantanoli's players have scored only six goals, but in four of the last five rounds Nice both scored and conceded. The teams continue to fight for the top ten, there is an open confrontation with the exchange of balls, and hardly anyone will be able to keep the goal intact.
The betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.60
A bet on yellow cards
In our opinion, the opponents will not be rude and intend to play carefully, it is worth counting on more than four yellow cards. The referees in the last five matches have shown the Pirates an average of one yellow card, and Nice has been issued two warnings in 90 minutes. We expect that there will be few mustard plasters.
The betting tip is that the total number of yellow cards is less than 3.5 with a coefficient of 1.70
