Stade Brestois 29 vs Nice prediction

THE FORECAST

Brest hold a slight edge at home despite a heavy injury list, as Nice have failed to win any away match this season (0 points from three road trips) and carry a notably low xG output on the road. Nice's own injury absentees — including Witsel, Moffi, Bombito and Abdi — further weaken their depth, making an away win even harder to envisage. Both teams have reasonable rest (6 and 5 days respectively) so rotation risk is limited, but Brest's inability to keep a clean sheet all season and Nice's defensively cautious style point toward a tight, low-scoring contest where home advantage tips the balance.
