REF’s picks

Brest have shown flashes of strong attacking football at home recently, and the -0.25 handicap is a sensible way to back them against a Nice side that has struggled with consistency on the road. While Nice are capable of frustrating opponents, their defensive lapses against high-pressing sides make them vulnerable here.

1. 1Brest's emphatic 5-1 home win against Angers demonstrated their offensive potential when they control the tempo.
2. 2Nice are coming off a tough away loss to Lyon and have had mixed results in recent league fixtures.
3. 3The risk lies in Nice's defensive structure, which can be difficult to break down if they choose to play for a draw.
