Nantes preview: Circling the drain
Nantes begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting in the bottom two and the automatic relegation places with just four victories in their 28 matches so far, and a major opportunity to close the gap blown.
The Canaries sit five points behind Auxerre, who are third-from-bottom in the relegation playoff place, and they shared a frustrating goalless draw with Auxerre at Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps last weekend.
Brest preview: Mid-table Brest
Under the management of former Sunderland player Eric Roy, Stade Brest sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table, albeit they are sinking down the table, admittedly with little riding on the remainder of their campaign, due to some average form of late.
Brest head into this one on the back of three successive defeats, having suffered an entertaining 4-3 defeat to Stade Rennais at Stade Francis-le Ble. Brest haven’t lost their entertaining touch.

Nantes vs Brest prediction
Nantes’ goalless draw with Auxerre followed a goalless draw with rock-bottom Metz and their chances of putting on a grand stand to escape have been hit, meaning that they are now winless in their last five matches in Ligue 1. Brest may be coasting with little to play for but they should still fancy themselves to get back on the winning track in Brittany this weekend.
