Lille vs Brest Match Analysis & Prediction
06/12/2024 9:00 pm
Two of France’s Champions League representatives will meet at Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1 on Friday night, when Lille host Brest.
Despite leading twice away t bottom-of-the-table Monpellier last weekend, Lille were still unable to take all three points, conceding a 93rd-minute equaliser, scored by Arnaud Nordin.
The result kept them fourth for the time being, but saw the sides below them close the gap, while also mising the opportunity to move within a point of both Monaco and Marseille in the top three.
Even amid the disappointment of throwing points away late on, it must be remembered that Lille are now 13 matches unbeaten across all competitions, by far the best run of any team in the French top flight.
Their brilliant run in the Champions League has played a big part in that, and after winning 2-1 away at Bologna last midweek, one eye will already be on their tie against Sturm Graz on Wednesday, because a win would almost certainly move them back into the top eight.
In the 36-team standings, Brest are on the same points, but one place higher following a scarcely believable debut season in Europe.
While they find themselves above the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, form in Ligue 1 has been no match, but their win last weekend means they have now tasted victory in four of their five games immediately after a European tie this season.
That victory came against Strasbourg, with Eric Roy’s side well worth their 3-1 win, ending a three-game losing run both across all competitions and in Ligue 1.
Brest remain in the bottom half, but the result moved them further away from trouble, opening up a four-point gap to the relegation zone – the same distance they are away from the European spots.
