Stade Brestois will host Nantes at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Wednesday in another round of Ligue 1 football.
The home side have had their struggles this season but have begun picking up important points in recent weeks as they look to avoid the drop. They were held to a goalless draw by relegation-threatened Ajaccio in their last league game and will be gutted not to have come away with all three points after a strong performance.
Brest sit 17th in the league table with 32 points from 32 games and will look to add to that tally this week.
Nantes have endured a rather torrid campaign and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were held to a 2-2 draw by struggling Troyes in their last league outing before suffering a 5-1 demolition at the hands of Toulouse in the Coupe de France final last weekend.
The visitors have also picked up 32 points this season and sit a place above their midweek opponents in the table. They will be looking to return to winning ways on Wednesday.
