Stade Brestois 29 1-2 Strasbourg result, stats and report

Nice ground out a 2-1 victory at Stade Brestois 29 on Friday night, with Elye Wahi and Sofiane Diop doing the damage after the break despite Brest creating the better chances across the ninety minutes.

Brest dominated large portions of this Ligue 1 fixture but had to settle for a point after Olivier Giroud converted from the spot to cancel out Mama Baldé's early opener. Lille were second best for long stretches and will know it.

Paris Saint-Germain came from a goal down to beat Strasbourg 3-1 at the Meinau, with Ilya Zabarnyi, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désiré Doué all scoring after the break. Strasbourg competed in patches but lacked the basics to hold a dominant PSG side at bay.

Strasbourg have not kept a clean sheet in five Ligue 1 matches and welcome a Brest side that knows how to score. Something has to give, and Connor Maguire has seen enough to know what it probably is.

Lorient have kept three clean sheets in their last five Ligue 1 matches. Brest have not kept a single one. Something has to give on Saturday night.

Strasbourg arrive at Rennes on Sunday without a clean sheet in their last five Ligue 1 matches and carrying four injury absences. Rennes have won this fixture before and they intend to win it again.

Stade Brestois 29 host Nice on Friday evening with both sides carrying inconsistent form and leaky defences. Neither team has kept a clean sheet in their last five Ligue 1 matches.
