Brest vs Lille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-05-09 19:00.
[p]After failing to pick up three points from any of their three previous games (D1, L2), and conceding ten goals in the process, Brest returned to winning ways with a 1-0 home victory over last-placed and already relegated Montpellier on Sunday. The Pirates end the season with two fixtures against UEFA Champions League hopefuls, travelling to Nice next weekend after concluding their home campaign against Lille this Saturday.[/p]
[p]Brest have won three of their last five outings at the Stade Francis-Le-Blé (D1, L1), a vast improvement on their prior five games across all competitions at home which yielded four defeats and one draw! They also haven’t lost any of their last four home fixtures against Lille (W2, D2) and if they can extend that unbeaten H2H run as hosts by another game, then a top-eight finish will still be a possibility going into the final round.[/p]
[p]The Mastiffs are in fifth position but only two points behind Marseille in second and with a realistic prospect of a second successive UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign for the first time since 2012/13. They are unbeaten across their last four games (W3, D1) after their three match winning streak came to an end with a 1-1 home draw against fellow UCL challengers Marseille last Sunday.[/p]
[p]On their travels, Bruno GĂ©nĂ©sio’s side have suddenly found form with victories from their last two trips and they will be targeting a third consecutive away win during the same Ligue 1 season for the first time since February – March 2022. It was March 2013 when Lille last returned from Brest with three points, but after gaining something out of the last five H2Hs across all venues (W3, D2), they should be confident of not going home empty-handed.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Following an assist last weekend, six of Mahdi Camara’s nine Ligue 1 goal contributions this season (G5, A4) have come in home games, although he also provided an assist in December’s reverse H2H. Jonathan David was directly involved in all three of Lille’s goals in that game (G2, A1), which took his tally to five goal contributions (G3, A2) from his last three H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Lille have not been behind at half-time in any of their last nine games across all competitions (FT: W5, D1, L3).[/p]
