It's a massive top of the table clash this weekend in Ligue 1 as Nice play host to Brest. The second-ranked hosts are one point behind the top-ranked visitors ahead of this match at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday. Nice are one of the only two unbeaten sides coming into the seventh round of the league, winning and drawing three games so far. In fact, they have won each of their last three matches after starting the season with three straight draws. Interestingly, they have scored just eight goals so far, with only seven clubs scoring fewer. The hosts have the best defensive record of the season, though, conceding only four goals. That included keeping clean sheets in their last two home league games.

Brest are top of the table, but with only a point above their hosts. The visitors have won four and drawn one match so far, and have lost once. That loss came against Marseille on matchday three. Following that, they have won two and drawn one of their recent three matches. That included two wins in a row bookended by a 1-0 win over Lyon. The visitors have been as frugal as their hosts in terms of goals scored, netting only eight this season. Their defensive record isn't any bad either, conceding only six goals with only Nice having a better record than them. One worry though is that, four of those goals have been conceded on the road in their three away games this league campaign.
