Lille head into this fixture after a 0-0 Ligue 1 drawn game versus FC Metz.

In that match, Lille managed 58% possession and 16 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Metz had 6 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.

Lille have really struggled up front of late. Their sum of goals equals just 3 vs opposition teams during the course of their last 6 matches. In those meetings, Lille have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them total 10. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend can be sustained here.

Their past results show that Lille:

• haven't beaten Brest in their previous 2 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

📰 Team News: Lille

Thomas Meunier (Hamstring injury), Marc-Aurèle Caillard (Elbow injury), Osame Sahraoui (Pubalgia), Hamza Igamane (Cruciate ligament tear), Ousmane Touré (Cruciate ligament tear) and Ethan Mbappé (Dead leg) aren’t available for Lille gaffer Bruno Génésio. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Aïssa Mandi and Nathan Ngoy.

It looks as if LOSC could employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Berke Ozer, Tiago Santos, Chancel Mbemba, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Romain Perraud, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Benjamin Andre, Gaetan Perrin, H. Arnar Haraldsson, M. Fernandez-Pardo and Olivier Giroud.

📋 Team News: Brest

From a largely full-strength group, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Brest gaffer Éric Roy to be concerned about. Mama Baldé (Dead leg) won’t be in action. Kamory Doumbia will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We believe Les Ty' Zefs will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Gregoire Coudert, Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Michel Diaz, Daouda Guindo, Hugo Magnetti, Joris Chotard, Romain Del Castillo, Lucas Tousart, Remy Lascary and Ludovic Ajorque.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Brest will surely be able to put a goal past this Lille side, although it probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re going for a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Lille when the full-time whistle blows. Looking forward to this.
