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.

• 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) will not be taking part for Lille gaffer Bruno Génésio. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Aïssa Mandi and Nathan Ngoy.

We think that LOSC look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Berke Ozer, Tiago Santos, Chancel Mbemba, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Romain Perraud, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Benjamin Andre, Noah Edjouma, H. Arnar Haraldsson, M. Fernandez-Pardo and Olivier Giroud.

🗞️ Team News: Brest

Owing to an otherwise available group of players, there is just a single fitness problem for the Brest gaffer Éric Roy to be concerned about. Mama Baldé (Dead leg) won’t be playing here. Kamory Doumbia will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We’re of the thinking that Les Ty' Zefs could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Grégoire Coudert, Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Junior Diaz, Daouda Guindo, Joris Chotard, Hugo Magnetti, Romain Del Castillo, Eric Ebimbe, Rémy Labeau 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.
