Lille vs Brest Prediction

On Friday night, Lille will host Brest in an effort to recover from last weekend's demoralizing 4-3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Brest is currently 16th and one point above the relegation zone in Ligue 1, while the home team is currently in sixth place.

Lille form

Lille has had a mixed first season under Paulo Fonseca, but they have consistently proved that they are capable of defeating any team in France's top division. This potential was once more on display on Sunday at Parc des Princes, when Lille miraculously overcame a two-goal deficit to lead Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 with three minutes remaining.

The game was drastically turned back in PSG's favor by Kylian Mbappe and a Lionel Messi free kick, leaving Lille to wonder what might have been. Les Dogues have only recorded two victories in their last six games across all competitions, and they also lost the Coupe de France during that span, despite being only two points out of fifth place.

On the plus side, Lille has a home record of seven wins, three draws, and two losses going into this game, which is the exact opposite of Brest's performance on the road.

The visitors had gone five league games without winning on the road when they won at mid-table Clermont Foot's stadium. Yet, since his arrival in January, Eric Roy has led his club to stalemates at Toulouse and Lyon, which will give him confidence going into this match.

Brest travels to the Decathlon Arena at the Stade Pierre Mauroy after suffering losses to Montpellier HSC and Monaco in back-to-back Ligue 1 games. Brest are once again in trouble with just four victories from 24 games, and they are only two points above bottom-place AC Ajaccio.

Lille vs Brest Betting Tips

Under 2.5 goals

The manner in which Lille fell to PSG last week might have an impact on the team despite their inconsistent play this season. In that game, seven goals were scored, with Lille scoring three of them. My Lille vs. Brest prediction is based on the fact that Lille has gone 13 times this season above the 2.5-goal mark while going under the line 11 times.

This year, Boston is 12–12 in that regard. The last time these two teams played each other in a head-to-head contest, which was four years ago, neither team scored more than two goals. Brest's last five away games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals in four of those contests, while Lille's home matches over the same time have featured only one.

Lille will triumph

Lille has a better record than Brest this season, which is one of the reasons why this bet is noteworthy. They have one of the finest home records in the league with seven wins, three ties, and a couple of losses. Looking backward, the formation of the breasts is nearly identical. They only managed two victories, three ties, and seven losses. Yet, the most crucial fact about this wager is that Boston has only scored once in their last five road games against Lille.

Even worse than that, Brest has only scored 12 goals this season while playing as a visiting club in the same number of games. In their previous five games, they had a 1-6 goal differential. As the season goes on, it appears like they are scoring fewer goals on the road, which should worry coach Eric Roy.
