Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Lille will be looking to build on a thrilling win at Olympique Lyon when they host Brest at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Friday evening. Les Dogues are eyeing their third consecutive win in the Ligue 1, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence. Victor Osimhen, who provided an assist for Nanitamo Ikone in the 1-0 win over les Gones, will be the man to watch in the home team.
Brest, on the other hand, produced their best performance of the season in a 5-0 win over Strasbourg, with the team putting an end to their four-game winless run in the national championship. However, given their poor away record in the Ligue 1, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 17. In their last meeting in the French elite division Lille defeated Brest 2-1.

Highlighted Player (Jose Fonte):

Born in Penafiel in 1983, Jose Miguel Da Rocha Fonte spent his early career in the lower divisions of the Portugal’s league system, and while he did join giants Benfica in 2006, he never made a single league appearance for the Eagles.
The loan spell with Crystal Palace proved crucial for the towering defender as he later secured a permanent move to Selhurst Park, performing well in three Championship campaigns. Fonte then surprised everyone when he joined League One side Southampton, but that would prove to be the best decision he has ever made, as he helped the Saints return to the Premier League before establishing himself as one of the leading central defenders in the elite division.
Rated for his aerial ability, but also quite capable on the ground, Jose Fonte even caught the eye of England’s top clubs, although a big club move never materialised for him. The late bloomer eventually played himself into the first team plans of Portugal coach Fernando Santos, making his Selecao debut at the age of 30.
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.
