Brest team overview
Despite missing out on European football, Brest finished last season strongly, especially at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. They lost only three of their 11 home matches in the second half of the campaign and were one of eight teams to record a double-digit number of home wins (10).
Brest have made considerable changes to their starting eleven during the off-season. Several regular starters have departed, including Marco Bizot and Massadio Haidara, while others have joined or returned from loan spells. Key players such as Julien Le Cardinal and Mama Baldé are set to miss the season opener.

Lille team overview
A top-five finish in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season, despite falling short of Champions League qualification, was largely the result of Lille’s dominant home form. Their away record, however, was almost twice as bad, as they collected only 23 points from a possible 51, compared to 37 points at home.
Lille have also undergone significant changes during the summer transfer window. Jonathan David is no longer at the club, while Lucas Chevalier has joined Ligue 1 champions PSG. The new arrival, Olivier Giroud, could add valuable experience in attack. However, they will not be at full strength for Sunday’s game — Tiago Santos, Edon Zhegrova, and Nabil Bentaleb all remain sidelined with various injuries.

Prediction
Lille should be considered the superior team to Brest, as evidenced by last season’s Ligue 1 standings. However, in a one-off game, and given the significant differences in both teams’ home and away records — with Brest performing better at home and Lille faring worse on the road — these factors should help level out any discrepancies in pedigree. Brest have won four of their last six home games in Ligue 1, losing only once, whereas Lille have lost four of their last six away matches in the league. Moreover, Brest are undefeated in five consecutive head-to-head encounters against Lille at the Stade Francis-Le Blé.
Three reasons we expect Double chance x1
- Brest have won 4 of their last 6 home matches in Ligue 1
- Lille have lost 4 of their last 6 away matches in Ligue 1
- Brest hold a record of 5 unbeaten matches against Lille at the Stade Francis-Le Blé
