Lille have performed better than Brest so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
- Lille has the fewest conceded goals in the second half (6) in Ligue 1
- Brest has the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Ligue 1
It's no vacation for neither Lille nor Brest as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lille form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy as Lille have scored 21 goals to get 27 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 1 are 8-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Lille has won six games in a row. The Angers SCO match was the last time out without a victory. Two home wins in a row for Lille bring valid hopes of a third.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Lille, as their goalkeeper Mike Maignan has completely shut out the opponents for 414 minutes in the Ligue 1.
Happy days for Lille in their previous game, a Coupe de France match away at Dijon (placed 19th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Nantes.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Ajax are coming to town in four days.
Lille have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy with 21 goals in 12 league matches. From these home matches, Lille have conceded only 7 goals.
Brest form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brest so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-8 (win-draw-lose).
The supporters enjoyed Brest's previous game versus Rodez, a Coupe de France 2-1 win played at home. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Bordeaux in the Ligue 1.
Brest have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Brest's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Brest - Lille 3-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Lille won six games, zero matches ended with a draw and Brest has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / threeTop Goalscorers
