ℹ️ Team News: Brest

Soumaïla Coulibaly (Adductor pain), Bradley Locko (Achilles tendon rupture), Ibrahim Salah (Foot injury) and Justin Bourgault (Toe injury) will not be taking part for Brest manager Éric Roy.

It looks as if Les Ty' Zefs should make use of the 4-3-3 formation in the match featuring Marco Bizot, Kenny Lala, Edimilson Fernandes, Abdoulaye N'Diaye, Massadio Haidara, Mahdi Camara, Hugo Magnetti, Kamory Doumbia, Romain Del Castillo, Ludovic Ajorque and Mathias Pereira-Lage.

🗞️ Team News: Lille

Lille boss Bruno Génésio has a number of players out of action. Edon Zhegrova (Adductor pain) and Tiago Santos (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

We reckon that LOSC might make use of a 4-4-2 system by sending out Lucas Chevalier, Thomas Meunier, Aissa Mandi, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Ismaily, H. Arnar Haraldsson, Nabil Bentaleb, Andre Gomes, M. Fernandez-Pardo, Jonathan David and Chuba Akpom.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that Brest will surely be able to score against this Lille side, although one goal possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a close game with a 1-2 advantage for Lille when all is said and done. It really should be an interesting one.
