Ligue 1 2025-2026: Brest-Nice, the likely formations

Saturday at 7 p.m. sees the match between Brest and Nice, valid for the 5th day of Ligue 1 2025/26. Kickoff at 7 p.m. at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Complicated moment for Brest, still hunting for its first success of the season and coming off three defeats in its first four outings. Quite a different mood at home Nice: after a difficult start to the championship, the Rossoneri lineup has reared its head again, gaining two victories in the last three games.

Roy opts for the Del Castillo-Ajorque-Mboup trident. Midfield keys entrusted to Chotard, while Lala and Locko will act as full-backs in defense.

Haise relies on Kevin Carlos in attack, with Diop and Boga on his flanks. Vanhoutte and Boudaoui will form the midfield hinge, while Bah will lead the backline.

Probable lineups

Brest (4-3-3): Coudert; Lala, Chardonnet, Junior Diaz, Locko; Magnetti, Chotard, Doumbia; Del Castillo, Ajorque, Mboup. Coach: Roy

Nice (3-4-3): Diouf; Bard, Bah, Oppong; Clauss, Vanhoutte, Boudaoui, Bard; Diop, Carlos, Boga. Coach: Haise
