Brest:
After 20 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses, the home team is currently in the 2 nd position, with 71 points won. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Béziers by (1-0), after in the previous match they have won (2-0) at home, against Lens. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 14 conceded.

There is 1 period highlighted in the last 18 home matches for this competition: they have suffered 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (31′- Four. Five’).
The Brest campaign to reach the elite is being compensated, because it is in the second position and would be guaranteeing the promotion. The expectation is to stay that way, to be successful in your goals, so do not think about losing points in any way. That being the case, he will enter the field motivated and determined to win, so that if he repeats his good performance he will have to commemorate a score in his favor. Regularity is the key to achieving your goals and is currently very close to achieving them. In this match the best players that are available will go to the field.
Niort:

In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Valenciennes, by (1-2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Lorient, by (2-2). This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses at their stadium.

The fall in Niort production was visible and is currently in the middle of the table. His great focus is to at least get back to grow, to improve their numbers. In this round the difficulty may exist, so much so that if you want to get a positive result you will need to overcome that. In this match he will face a team that has its own interests and that indicates more attention in the fight for a favorable result. Therefore, you must have objectivity and determination throughout the ninety minutes to try to obtain a good result. In this match Ibrahim aConté will be absent, for being in the medical department.
