French Ligue 1
2024-12-06 - Lille vs Brest
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Decathlon Arena
Friday 6th December 2024, 1500hrs
Lille return to the home surroundings of their Decathlon Arena for Friday night’s clash at home against Brest with the hosts looking to extend their unbeaten run in the French top flight to 10 games overall.
Four wins and six draws have helped lift Lille into 4th place in the Ligue 1 table and another three points here on Friday night would lift the hosts level on points with both Marseille and Monaco prior to this weekend’s action.
Recent wins against Le Havre, Toulouse, Lens and Rennes respectively will give Lille a welcome boost as they prepare for this upcoming visit from 11th placed Brest, while the bigger picture shows Lille have lost just twice in their last 20 home games in Ligue 1, winning 12 games.
Brest bounced back from three losses on the trot in the domestic top flight last weekend when they recorded a 3-1 home win against Strasbourg which in turn lifted the visitors up into a mid-table position in the Ligue 1 table.
The visitors had previously slumped to defeats at the hands of Nice, Montpellier and Monaco respectively but results overall so far in this season’s Ligue 1 campaign have been a mixed bag for Eric Roy’s side.
Five wins, one draw but also seven losses within their opening 13 games overall this term suggests this upcoming trip to the Decathlon Arena to take on a solid looking Lille outfit looks to be a tough assignment for the visitors.
Indeed, Brest have lost five of the last six outings on the road in Ligue 1 so it looks like Eric Roy’s side will have their work cut out here on Friday night.
The Betting Verdict
Lille have won the last two meetings on the trot at home against Brest and the hosts look the more likely for the spoils here as well.
