Stade Brestois vs LOSC Lille Prediction and Betting Tips

LOSC Lille’s push for UEFA Champions League qualification will go down to the wire as they take on Stade Brestois in the penultimate game of the Ligue 1 campaign on Saturday. Brest will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win the last five meetings between the two teams since 2022.

Romain Del Castillo’s first-half strike was the difference for Stade Brestois last weekend as they held on to see out a 1-0 victory over Montpellier at the Stade Francis Le Blé.

Before that, Eric Roy’s men were on a three-game winless run in the league, playing out a 3-3 draw against Saint-Etienne on April 13 before suffering consecutive defeats against Lens and Olympique Marseille.

Stade Brestois have picked up 47 points from their 32 Ligue 1 matches so far to sit ninth in the league standings, one point behind Lens in the top half of the table.

Meanwhile, LOSC Lille played out a 1-1 stalemate against Marseille at the Stade Pierre Mauroy last time out as both sides continue their quest to secure second place in the table.

Before that, Bruno Genesio’s men were on a run of three straight league victories, seeing off Toulouse, Auxerre and Angers while scoring seven goals and conceding twice in that time.

With 57 points from 32 Ligue 1 matches, Lille are currently fifth in the league standings, just two points behind second-placed Marseille with two games to go.
