Lille vs Brest Preview

Lille

Lille will take on Brest in an interesting home encounter of Ligue 1 on Friday. LOSC know that they have to be on the edge against their opponents and cannot afford to rest on their laurels. 

The home team are in an excellent run of form, having been unbeaten in their last five matches. This will give them the confidence of putting up a fine performance in this match as well. 

The Mastiffs, who like to play in a conventional 4-2-3-1 formation, will rely heavily upon their central defenders Ribeiro and Diakite. The duo has been in excellent form this season and shielded their goalkeeper from unwarranted attacks. 

Lille’s defence is menacing and famous for its pinpoint marking abilities, and the same will be on display in this game as well. They are currently ranked fourth in the Ligue 1 table with 23 points and will be keen on challenging for the title by the end of the season.

Brest

Brest, who have not been in the best of forms, come into this game after having lost three out of their last four matches. This challenging game against Lille in a stadium which is the fourth-largest in France, will not be easy for their defenders. Les Pirates will have to work very hard to prevent Lille’s attackers from creating space. 

Brest are ranked in the 11th position of the league table with 16 points and will hope to improve their performance. Like LOSC, the visiting side also like to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with emphasis on striker Ajorque, who has not done too badly this season, scoring three goals and bagging one assist. 

Central attacking midfielder Faivre, on loan from Bournemouth, likes to push ahead and unlock opposition defences, and his services will be sorely needed by Brest in this match. It will be exciting to see how Brest will try to get behind the Lille backline and operate in the final third.

Lille vs Brest Prediction

• Pick: Lille to win this match
• Odds: 1.68 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Lille 2-1 Brest

Lille have an overwhelming advantage in this game, and we expect them to win it comfortably. Brest have only won four out of the 17 games played between these two teams in the past. Additionally, the home team have been in fine form over the last five matches, having won two and drawn the rest. 

LOSC have also won six out of the nine matches played between these two teams at home, which will give them a lot of confidence heading into this game. 

However, injuries to key players such as Angel Gomes, Samuel Umtiti, and Ethan Mbappé will prove critical to their chances. Brest will hope to exploit these gaps in the Lille defence and get on the scoresheet at least once.

Lille vs Brest Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Lille to win or draw
• Odds: 1.19 (22Bet)

We expect Lille to either win or draw this match. They have done so in their last five matches, and the same will be expected in this match. 

Brest, for their part, have won just once in their last four encounters (3-1 vs Strasbourg at home) and will be severely challenged by Lille’s attacking players in this game. 

Lille striker David will be massively feared in this match, and we expect him to make the most of the lapses made by Brest’s defenders. The visiting side might even find themselves cowering in fear in front of the raucous home supporters.
