Lille has dropped to sixth in the standings after a poor run of results in France. They will be bidding to get back on track on Friday evening when they welcome Brest. The visitors have gone four without a win, and could end the upcoming round of fixtures in the bottom four.
Ligue 1 Preview
It has been a disappointing period in the season for Lille, as they have lost ground on the sides that they are in direct competition with for a European finish this term. They come into this fixture sitting sixth in the standings, and they are now nine points off the Champions League spots. However, they could move back into the top five with victory on Friday.
Lille has won just twice in their previous four matches, while they were handed a seventh defeat of the campaign in their latest match in Ligue 1. That loss was suffered in dramatic fashion against PSG, as they conceded a 95th minute winner in the French capital. It was an unfortunate defeat, as they probably did enough to claim a point from their visit to Paris.
Brest could end the upcoming round of matches in Ligue 1 inside the bottom four, as they currently sit just a point above the relegation places in the standings. They have gone four games without a win in France, and have lost each of their previous two matches. Over their last four, they have picked up just two points.
Their most recent defeat was suffered at home against AS Monaco, as they conceded twice. Brest threatened to get back into the game in the final ten minutes, but their response was too late to make a difference against a talented Monaco side.
Lille vs Brest Head to Head
Three of the previous four matches between these sides have ended in draws, with two 0-0s having been played out over that period. However, Brest is also unbeaten in their previous five matches against Lille in Ligue 1, winning twice over that period.
Lille vs Brest Prediction
The previous meeting between the sides this term ended in a 0-0 draw. Goals will likely be in short supply again on Friday, but there was a lot to like about Lille’s performance against PSG last weekend. Therefore, we expect the hosts to have enough quality to secure maximum points.
