Match Preview

The Pirate Team welcome FC Nantes to the Stade Francis-Le Blé on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Neutrals will hope the trend of high scoring matches between these sides continues here. There have been over 2.5 goals in five of the last six matches here in this head to head in all competitions. Odds of 2.15/1 are available for another over 2.5 goal game on Sunday.

Stade Brestois come into the match on a run of two home defeats in a row. They have picked up seven points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

Les Ty Zefs won their last league match away to Montpellier HSC. Expected goals of 1.3 to 0.7 in favour of Montpellier indicates Brest didn't deserve all three points on the balance of chances created.

However, this is somewhat misleading in the sense that most of Montpellier’s xG comes from a 93rd-minute penalty when Brest were already 0-2 ahead and coasting thanks to goals from Martín Satriano and Franck Honorat. The final score of the match was 1-2.

Honorat moves into double figures as Stade Brestois’s top scorer with ten goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 3.1/1 to score against FC Nantes on Sunday.

Their opponent on Sunday, FC Nantes, come into the match having picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

The Canaries won their last league match away to Clermont Foot. Expected goals of 2.0 to 0.9 in favour of Nantes indicates it was likely a fair result. Les Canaris were helped on the way by a penalty just before half time which Ludovic Blas stepped up to convert for his side. Pedro Chirivella and Randal Kolo Muani goals immediately after Clermont’s second half equalisers ensured they stayed ahead in the match. The final score of the match was 2-3.

Muani stays two goals ahead of Blas as FC Nantes’s top scorer with eleven goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 3.25/1 to score against Stade Brestois on Sunday.
