Brest - form analysis: This is the main sensation of the French championship.
The "Pirates" have never achieved anything bigger than winning in Ligue 2 in their 74-year history. A year ago, they were only fourteenth, which was a fairly typical, decent result. Now they are two points behind Monaco, sitting third in the standings as they enter the last month of the season. After losing to Monaco in mid-April and Lyon before that, they bounced back in the last round, winning a high-scoring match 5-4 against Rennes.
Nantes - form analysis: Chances of survival are maintained through points earned away.
The "Canaries" won the cup in 2022 and reached the final in the following year. However, parallel to that, they narrowly avoided relegation by just one point last season. Now, under Combuare's guidance, they are fighting to stay in the league again. It's been tough not winning at home since the start of the calendar year. However, their away record has been decent, especially in spring. Currently, they have three away matches without defeat - winning against Nantes and Le Havre, and drawing 1-1 against Montpellier in the last round.
