Lille vs Brest Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Les Lillois are unbeaten in their previous 13 games.

Fourth-place Lille are set to take on last term’s history makers Brest at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Friday in round 14 of the Ligue 1 action aiming to maintain their unbeaten streak of games. 

Lille have made a good start to the season as they find themselves in the fourth position in the overall rankings. Bruno Genesia’s side have accumulated 23 points from the opening 13 games of the season as they trail ten points behind league leaders PSG. Defence has been their strong position in the league after managing to keep the most clean sheets in the competition.

Brest on the other hand have struggled to replicate their form this season after their historic performance last season where they finished second in the league and secured UEFA Champions League football for the first time in their history. Currently occupying the 11th position in the league, Eric Roy’s side will have to improve their domestic form.

He has also looked in lethal form in UEFA Champions League having scored some memorable goals against both the Madrid clubs – Atletico and Real. David has 15 goals to his name in all competitions and considering the form he is in a lot of clubs will be lurking for his signature with his contract running out with the club next summer.
