Nice vs Brest Prediction: Nice looking to continue their good form against Brest

When Nice hosts Brest at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday, they will be attempting to extend their current streak of five games without a loss in all competitions.

Nice drew 2-2 with Koln on Thursday night, giving up a two-goal advantage, but it was still enough to guarantee passage to the Europa Conference League knockout rounds.

Domestically, Les Aiglons enjoy a four-game unbeaten streak that has propelled them to 10th place in the rankings.

The recent performances by his team will have delighted Lucien Favre, who now wants to continue Nice's unbeaten run in Ligue 1 and climb the standings.

After an eight-game winless run, Brest is coming off of a mini-revival of their own with four points in their last two games.

In a scoreless draw last weekend with Reims, they recorded their first clean sheet of the season.

Les Pirates' ability to capitalise on their current momentum could be crucial to their ability to escape the relegation zone. Nice accomplished the double over Brest last season, so Brest will be out to make amends, beginning here.

Schmeichel; Attal, Todibo, Dante, Bard; Boudaoui, Lemina, Thuram, Brahimi; Pepe, Laborde

Blazquez; Fagida, Chardonnet, Brassier, Duverne; Camara, Magnetti; Del Castillo, Pereira Lage, Honorat; Le Douaron

Nice should be able to win this game this weekend because their team is clearly much stronger than Brest's. This season, Lucien Favre's team has not consistently performed well. However, they will fancy scoring goals freely against Brest's porous defence and should be strong at the other end to keep their opponents out.
