Nantes welcome Stade Brest to the Stade de la Beaujoire on February 7, 2025, for an important Ligue 1 Round 21 encounter. The hosts, managed by Antoine Kombouaré, seek a fourth game unbeaten, while eighth-placed Brest have to bounce back after suffering the ignominy of a 5-2 defeat last weekend. History is on the visitor's side as Brest have not been defeated in the last five encounters against Nantes. Will the Canaries finally break the streak, or will Eric Roy's side bounce back?

Nantes currently occupy the 14th spot in the list with 21 points from 20 matches (4 wins, 9 draws, and 7 losses). Their recent form (draw, loss, draw, draw, win) indicates that it is tough to beat them, but they seem to find it hard to turn draws into wins. However, their last match, which ended in a 2-1 win over Stade Reims, was, courtesy of goals by Matthis Abline and Mostafa Mohamed, a big shot in the arm as far as their confidence is concerned.
Their home results have been erratic (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses), and they have avoided defeat in the last two games at Stade de la Beaujoire. Kombouaré's men are a bit shaky defensively, conceding six goals in the last three matches. On the flipside, they boast of decent discipline, with not more than 4.5 cards in six out of their last seven games. They can be expected to play cautiously while trying to hit on the counter with Abline and Mohamed.
Stade Brest
The season has been so far fluctuating for Brest, which is currently in eighth position with 28 points (9W, 1D, 10L). Their recent track record (WLWLL) has proven to be unreliable and they lost confidence following a 5-2 defeat away to Brest on the 5th matchday in their previous game. Romain Del Castillo and Ludovic Ajorque both scored but the Brest defensive line was exposed.
At home, Brest have been inconsistent (3W, 2L) but have been victorious in three of their past five away games. According to Eric Roy's group, the scores can be high, with more than 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7. If their attack succeeds, it can be devastatingly effective, but it is obvious that if the defence is wanting, the attackers can be fatal, and the gap between these two must always remain part of consideration.
