Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Lille will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Clermont when they take on Brest at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Matchday 11. Les Dogues have been having their ups and downs in the new Ligue 1 campaign, but they are surely capable of beating Brest in front of home fans. Since both Yilmaz and Mandava are back from suspensions, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the reigning champions.
Both Sven Botman and Leo Jardim are out of contention through injuries. The visitors, on the other hand, will find it hard to secure yet another Ligue 1 survival, as things stand now. Since Brest have yet to record a win in the new domestic campaign, we predict that the relegation strugglers will return home empty-handed. All Agoume, Del Castillo, Cibois, Lasne, and Herelle remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
Highlighted Team (Brest):
Founded in 1950, Brest (Stade Brestois) are a French football club that compete in the Ligue 1. La Team Pirate welcome their opponents at Stade Francis-Le Ble, the venue which was opened back in 1922. The capacity of the stadium is 15,931, but on August 8, 1986 21,619 watched the game between Brest and Olympique Marseille.
The club’s home colours are red and white, with the team wearing black kit when playing on the travels. Brest’s third kit is white. La Team Pirate, who made it to the French Cup on two occasions (1982/83 and 2014/15), have rivalries with fellow clubs from Bretagne: Rennes, Lorient, Nantes, Guingamp and Vannes.
The likes of Bernard Lama Stephane Guivarch, Paul le Guen, David Ginola and Frank Ribbery are the most notable footballers who played for the club. Bayern Munchen legend Frank Ribery scored 3 goals in 35 appearances for Brest in the national championship.
