Twelfth, Stade Brestois receives a team from OGC Nice who wants at all costs to win to regain second place at OM (a meeting to follow live commented on FM at 1 p.m.). After an air gap of three matches, the Aiglons recovered by dominating Rennes then Lens. More comfortable outside (4th out of 20) than in Francis-Le-Blé, the Bretons have conceded only one defeat in the last three months! A meeting that promises!
For this match, Michel Der Zakarian is deprived of Cibois and Del Castillo, injured, and of Belkebla, party disputed the CAN with Algeria. He opts for a 4-4-2. Opposite, Christophe Galtier can count on a complete group, except Youcef Atal (Algeria) and Mario Lemina (Gabon), who left for CAN. It has the same pattern as its Breton counterpart. We note the tenure of Morgan Schneiderlin, the first in the league since the match against PSG on December 1.
