Brest vs Lille Prediction & Betting Tips (17 August)

9th of the last exercise in Ligue 1 which saw him wiping 4 small defeats in 17 home games in addition to having left the Champions League in play -offs, the Brest stadium will not be happy to play a new European campaign this season. He puts himself on the rails with Eric Roy at the helm of a victorious team of all his preparation matches until leaving back to back with Sassuolo 1-1 the previous weekend. The SB29 remained on victories against Concarneau 1-2, Rennes 2-3, Le Havre 1-0 and especially the Italian champion Napoli 1-2. A convincing preparation before meeting, already, a big fish from the French championship. The LOSC comes out of a frustrating campaign for the first season of Bruno Genesio on the bench. 5th in the championship, he was deprived unlike goals to play the qualification tricks at the Champions League.

The DOGUES will be at the rendezvous of the Europa League League phase from September. They have alternated the right and the least good in recent weeks in preparation matches. Winner of the Gantoise reserve team 2-0, Amiens 5-0 and more recently Venezia 3-0, Lille was defeated by Como 3-2 and a Dortmund 3-2 team which eliminated it in the round of 16 of the last edition of the Champions League. The northern club completed its preparation last weekend against West Ham, a lost meeting at goal after a goal on each side in 90 minutes. 

Brest is devoid of several executives from the last exercise: the goalkeeper Bizot (Aston Villa), Haïdara (Kocaelispor) and Coulibaly (Dortmund) in Defense, the Middle Camara (Rennes) and the winger Pereira Lage (7 assists last season). Sima (Brighton) which comes out of a Ligue 1 to 7 goals season, Abd. Ndiaye (Troyes), E. Fernandes (Mainz) and Faivre (Bournemouth) saw their loan to SB29 end. Ajorque was sold definitively to the club by Mainz after having completed a season at 13 achievements, which made it the best Brestois in the league. The center-forward was distinguished by offset by registering in particular a double of prestige against Napoli. Just landed on loan from Monaco, Majecki will take over from Bizot on the goal line. Young junior defender Diaz (loan, Troyes) came to strengthen the defensive sector. The day group will be complete if the side Bourgault, back to training this week, is not too short. The Lille workforce appears without the important miller (suspended) on the right side, a position that Mandi, injured in the last friendly match, should not occupy.

In addition, the experienced André Gomes in the midfield is in doubt. The lateral Santos (holder), recovering, and the Ethan Mbappé community which is satisfied with the supporting roles remain absent while the Zhegrova offensive asset (8 goals last season), returned to training at the start of the week, is not guaranteed to be on time. Compared to the last exercise, the LOSC has lost three pillars of its spine: its goalkeeper transferred to PSG, the defensive rock Diakité (Bournemouth) and its serial scorer David (Juventus). The porter Bodart (ex Metz), the central Ngoy arrived from the Liège Standard and the former French international Giroud (ex Los Angeles FC), author of 3 goals in the last 2 friendly games, will have the mission to compensate for these losses. Broholm (ex Rosenborg) and Fe. Correia (ex Gil Vicente) also signed at the club to the inter-season like Perraud (ex Betis) to the post of left side, a position injured by the departure of Bakker (Atalanta), Gudmundsson (Leeds) and Isaily (end of contract). The arrival of the young Turkish international goalkeeper Özer (Eyüpspor) being imminent, Bodart may not have a chance this Sunday. Captain André (Middle) extended his contract to him after being mentioned on the side of Paris FC. Haraldsson was the leader of the attack during preparation by scoring 4 achievements.
