Brest vs Lille Prediction: the Visitors are Highly Motivated

Prediction for the Ligue 1 Brest vs Lille match, which will take place on January 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After the World Cup, Brest had some bad luck with the schedule. On 28 December, Brest defeated Lyon 4:2 at home. Four days later, they lost to Monaco 0:1 on the road. In the French Cup, Brest beat Avranches 2:0 away. After 17 games in Ligue 1, Brest occupies 17th position in the division, sitting in the relegation zone. Brest is two points behind Ajaccio, and the club's home statistics is 18th in the league, +1=3-4, 7:17 goal difference.

Lille defeated Clermont away in Ligue 1 round 16. In round 17, they sensationally sealed a 1:1 draw with Reims at home. Six days later, again at home, but already in the French Cup, Lille beat Troyes 2:0. Also, all their matches after the season resumption ended in draws. Before the 18th round, Lille sits seventh in the standings with 30 points. The gap from Monaco, located in the UEFA Cups, is three points. So the visitors have an excellent chance to represent France in European competitions at the end of the season. Lille has the fifth away statistics, +4=1-3, 14:8 goal difference. Lille has the third statistic in possession and shots and the fourth in assists accuracy.

Lille has one of the best away statistics in the division, while Brest does not shine in the season and at home as well. Recall that the hosts sit in the relegation zone while the Dogues are doing everything to claim a place in the UEFA Cups. In personal meetings, Lille's statistics against Brest have been negative recently, but we doubt that this fact will impact the result of the upcoming game.
