The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Brest on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Brest are coming off from a narrow 1:0 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Lens ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

The previous round of the Ligue 1 saw Lille tie against Rennes, with whom they were evenly matched in terms of form. Rennes initially took the lead, but the game’s hosts managed to equalise just in time to avoid defeat.

We’ve seen some excellent defensive play from Brest lately – they haven’t conceded a single goal for more than three home games which makes To Win to Nil a fairly reasonable option in this match.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The home team in this game are one of the best-placed teams in the current standings, which will likely send them to the Champions League before the season is over. However, the competition around the top is fierce, and Lille are not an easy mark for earning extra points.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Brest narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.26 with 1xbet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
