Lille vs Brest Live Stats & Betting Odds
Lille Prediction – Can Lille win three on the trot?
Recent back-to-back wins against Dijon (at home) and Lyon (away), both by 1-0 margins, have helped lift Lille into 4th place and the hosts will no doubt be going in search of a third win on the trot in the French top flight on Friday night when they entertain Brest at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Another three points on Friday night on home turf would result in Lille climbing above Bordeaux into 3rd spot and just three points shy of 2nd placed Marseille ahead of this weekend’s action in Ligue 1.
However, having managed to record just 1 win out of their previous 7 matches in Ligue 1 prior to the win over Dijon, it remains to be seen if Lille can continue their winning momentum against Brest in this encounter, but the hosts do possess a solid record at home which sees Lille still yet to taste defeat at home in this domestic top flight campaign.
A home record of 6-2-0 15/4 includes 5 clean sheets already at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy, 3 of which have been collected on the trot on home turf, while the bigger picture shows that Lille are unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home in Ligue 1.
Brest Prediction – Can Brest climb into top half of Ligue 1?
Having registered an emphatic 5-0 home win over Strasbourg in midweek, the visitors will certainly be in confident mood as they received a timely boost ahead of this difficult looking trip to face a solid Lille outfit in their own backyard on Friday night.
However, this may be premature as that win was achieved on home turf at their Stade Francis-Le Blé where Brest have won 4 of their total of 5 Ligue 1 wins to date this season, while results away from home have been far less convincing or impressive.
The visitors have claimed just 1 win out of an overall away record which stands at an average looking 1-2-4 6/13 which includes a 1-0 win at Angers but also defeats at Nimes, Monaco, Amiens and Marseille along with recording just 1 clean sheet on their travels so far this season.
The bigger picture also shows that Brest have collected just 2 away wins out of their last 15 matches on the road in the French top flight and this Friday night encounter against Lille could also end in disappointment for the visitors.
Key-Facts – Lille vs Brest
- Lille are unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home in Ligue 1
- Brest have collected just 2 away wins out of their last 15 matches
- Lille have won 5 of the previous 6 meetings against Brest
Betting Tips Verdict
Lille have been solid at home this term and should record a comfortable win here.
