Brest have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 4 home matches against Lille in all competitions. Lille are undefeated in their last 9 matches (Ligue 1).
Denys Bain is a doubt after missing the Bretons' loss to PSG with COVID-19. Steve Mounie was surprisingly left on the bench against the leaders, but should be back in the XI here. Hianga'a Mbock and Paul Lasne are also in contention for a place in central midfield. Lille have signed Hatem Ben Arfa and he could be in the matchday squad. Yusuf Yazici has joined CSKA Moscow on loan. With Benjamin Andre back from suspension, look for the veteran to slot into midfield. New signing Edon Zhegrova could also have a place on the bench.
On paper, both of these sides have had their moments this season. Even if Brest have lost a bit of their lustre in the new year this match should still be an entertaining one. After playing an hour with 10 men on Sunday and facing Lorient in the week, Lille's thin squad could feel the crunch here, giving the hosts a potential advantage. 2:1
