OGC Nice vs Stade Brest Prediction: Who remains top of the league?

Brest and Nice sit at the top of the league table after the opening 6 games and only 1 point separates them. They have both been rewarded for such a bright start to the campaign, but with the position comes pressure to hold it. PSG are only 1 point behind Nice in second place and 2 points behind Brest in 1st place. Brest and Nice will go head-to-head in round 7 and it looks likely that one or both teams might not retain their spots at the end of the game.

OGC Nice

Of the two clubs, Nice has had the better start to the campaign. They have had 3 wins against Strasbourg, PSG and Monaco. And 3 draws against Lille, Lorient and Lyon. If they maintain the momentum, there's a chance they might keep fighting to remain top after this game. Beating PSG 3-2 at the Parc de Prince has to be their highlight game of the season. They followed that with another win against Monaco in their last match. The game looked like it was heading to a draw, until Jeremie Boga's goal broke the deadlock in the 91st minute.

Nice and Best's meetings have been productive, with either side winning each of the last 6 meetings. Nice lost the last meeting by a single goal back in April.

• No losses in 6 games.

Stade Brest

Brest will be hoping to put in a decent effort when they face OGC Nice for their first ever meeting this season. Despite losing 1 of the opening 6 games, they managed to win 4 and draw 1 game. And with a total of 12 points, they are 2nd on the table.

They were able to prove their quality in their last game against Olympique Lyon, winning by a single goal. The goal came late and Steve Mounie scored the only goal in the 87th minute to ensure they claim all 3 points.

So far, Brest has beaten Lens, Le Havre, Reims and Lyon, who says Nice can't be among that list?

In their last meeting back in April, Jeremy De Douaron scored the only goal that separated both sides and Brest went on to win the game.

Analysis and Predictions

These are the two best teams at the moment and all credit to them. Both teams have shown signs of promise throughout the start of the campaign and they would like to hold onto that.

Nice have the advantage behind them, but they must be cautious of the threat from Brest. This looks like the sort of game that is decided by 1 mistake from either team and both teams will be careful not to give away any chances to concede. This game should end with a few goals but who will emerge the winner is difficult to call.
