Betting on Lille
In a thrilling showdown during last weekend’s Ligue 1 action, Lille narrowly missed out on a stunning upset as they staged a remarkable comeback from a 2-0 deficit against PSG. Despite their valiant efforts, the powerful Parisian attack led by Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi proved to be too much for the Mastiffs, with Messi securing the winning goal in the final minutes to seal a 4-3 victory and hand Lille their seventh defeat of the season.
As a result of this result, Lille now finds themselves in sixth place in the league standings, with a total of 41 points earned from 12 wins, five draws, and seven losses. While the end of their three-game unbeaten streak may be disappointing, Lille will have the advantage of playing on their home turf for their next match, where they have been in fine form, racking up seven wins, three draws, and just two losses in their 12 home matches so far this season.
Moreover, Lille has remained unbeaten in their last 11 home matches across all competitions, highlighting their formidable strength on their own ground.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Lucas Chevalier; Timothy Weah, Tiago Djaló, José Fonte, Bafodé Diakité; Angel Gomes, Benjamin André; Rémy Cabella, Angel Gomes, Jonathan Bamba; Jonathan David.
Betting on Brest
Brest has had a difficult season in Ligue 1, with one of the highest numbers of defeats among all teams. As a result, they have found themselves struggling in the relegation positions, though they have managed to climb out of the danger zone for now.
Brest has had a tough time in recent matches, with four consecutive games without a win and two consecutive defeats leading up to their upcoming match. Their last away win in Ligue 1 dates back to October 2022 when they defeated Clermont 1-3, and they have now gone five matches without a victory on the road.
During this period, they have also struggled to find the back of the net, managing to score only one goal in their last five matches and failing to score in four of those games.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Marco Bizot; Kenny Lala, Lilian Brassier, Christophe Herelle, Jean-Kevin Duverne; Pierre Lees Melou; Alberth Elis, Mahdi Camara, Haris Belkebla, Romain del Castillo; Jeremy Le Douaron.
JefeBet Prediction
The differences between the two teams can be seen in their positions in the standings, despite the fact that both teams are coming into this game on the back of defeats.
Lille is a more solid team and at home is much more threatening to a lower level team. Thus, everything indicates that the victory would be for the local team.
Prediction: Lille win by a score of 2-0.
