Lille vs Brann Prediction & Betting Tips (25 September)

1/8th finalist of the Champions League last season, Lille failed to validate her ticket again for the most beautiful of European competitions. That said, the LOSC has offered itself a nice share of consolation by qualifying for this Europa League where it will undoubtedly have the ambition to be able to get out of the regular season and reach the direct elimination phase. Especially since in championship, the services provided by the DOGUES are clearly encouraging. Indeed, northerners were undefeated before the international break. Held in check by Brest 3-3, they were then able to get rid of Monaco 1-0 before crushing Lorient 1-7 . By this European school year, they will be opposed to Toulouse and Lens.

In front, Brann is a newcomer to the continental scene. It is indeed necessary to go back to the 2007-2008 season to find the trace of a European epic of this team outside the summer qualifications. 2nd in the Norwegian championship last year behind Bodo/Glimt, this training should however be one of the little thumbs of this competition. However, the rodtroyene should not be underestimated which occupy the 3rd step of the podium in Norway today. Before going to the north of France, they will be opposed to Valerenga and Sandefjord.

Absent for almost a year, the side formerly holder Tiago Santos could have the competition before this 1st European day. On the other hand, the third goalkeeper Caillard, defender Touré (replacement) and Gomes circles, Ethan Mbappé (replacement) and Mukau (executive) should all stay in care. Otherwise, all the tauliers of this team will undoubtedly be able to hold their place. Barely arrived from the rangers at the end of the transfer window, the Igamane-center forward did not miss its debut in its new colors. The promising Fernandez-Pardo, the Icelandic playing master Haraldsson, or the veteran Giroud should all appear on the match sheet with the tireless Benjamin André in the midfield.  The workforce available to this brann formation is much less known by the tricolor public.

A large majority of the players who compose it are perfect unknown by French -speaking followers. Among the men to follow, we can still quote the Icelandic international striker Magnusson (7 Sél) who played recently against the Blues. He has 4 goals to his credit in the championship but it is the interesting Heggebo who is the most decisive in this team with 7 achievements. The Norwegian Finne (4 goals) will also be followed as well as the local international Myhre (3 goals). Brann could go to the Decathlon Arena deprived of the long -term injuries Opsahl and the defender Larsen who are at the infirmary at the moment.

• Summary: Lille is going head to head with SK Brann starting on 25 Sept 2025 at 16:45 UTC at Decathlon Arena - Stade Pierre Mauroy stadium, Lille city, France. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
