Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Lille
Brest will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Lens when they take on Lille in the Ligue 1 round 26. Les Pirates aim to start a new winning run in the national championship, but they face a tough challenge in Sunday’s matinee. Defender Jordan Amavi remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Les Dogues, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Rennes in their last Ligue 1 fixture.
Lille are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but beating Brest on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jonathan David, who scored a brace against les Rouges et Noirs, while all Adam Ounas, Rafael Fernandes, Andrej Ilic, Samuel Umtiti, and Tiago Morais continue to miss out with injuries.
