Lille form and stats

This stadium, Stade Pierre Mauroy, has been a fortress for Lille in the Ligue 1 so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-2-0.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Mike Maignan not having conceded a league goal in 239 minutes.

Happy days for Lille in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Olympique Lyonnais (placed 10th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Lille had a home game versus Dijon which ended with a victory 1-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lille as they are travelling to their away game against Chelsea in the Champions League. That match is four days after this one.

Brest form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brest so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Brest seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed Brest's previous game versus Strasbourg (placed 15th), a Ligue 1 5-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Olympique Marseille wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, Brest was the only team on the pitch versus Strasbourg in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Cristian Battocchio's lethal finishing against Strasbourg. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Brest as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Brest have conceded 13 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's 5 Lille victories, 0 draws and 1 Brest win. 4 of these games ended with three goals or more, 2 matches with two goals or less.
