Lille vs Brest Prediction: The Mastiffs will win in a low-scoring fight

Lille face Brest in round 25 of the French championship. We will examine how the two sides approach the game and what to bet on.

Lille are showing pretty good football on the whole. So, for example, in the game before last, they easily coped with Strasbourg, scoring two unanswered goals, and then gave a decent response to the Parisians, who lost in a spectacular match only by one goal (3:4). However, the Mastiffs' position in the Ligue 1 table leaves much to be desired. They are fighting for a place in the European competition, two points behind fifth-placed Rennes.

Brest are struggling to survive. On the eve of the 25th round, the team sits just above the relegation zone with 20 points. Lowly Troyes are just one point behind, so every mistake could be crucial now. Brest come to the game with Lille after a four-match streak without a win, with two games drawn - 0-0 with Lyon and 1-1 with Lans, and two, of course, lost - 0-3 to Montpellier and 1-2 to Monaco.

Bookmakers have written off Brest, with which we partly agree. Yes, Lille are noticeably better performing in the current round of the French elite. However, the visitors are not the most convenient opponents for the Mastiffs. This can be seen in their recent head-to-head encounters, where Lille have failed to beat Brest in five games. This game will be an exception. We propose to bet on the first team's success, strengthening the odds with Total Under.
