Lille vs Brest lineups and latest team news
Lille
Lille are yet to find rhythm and before the international break, they registered back-to-back draws. In their last outing, Les Dogues took the lead vs Lens but failed to hold on to it and had to settle for a 1-1 outcome.
Lille remain aggressive in attack and they have scored in every league match so far. However, their star striker and top goalscorer from last season Jonathan David is struggling. He started all 8 league games played but has scored just 2 goals.
Lille need to get him back to the form he was displaying last season if they want to start winning more often.
Playmaker Gomes misses this game suspended but in Bentaleb an excellent cover is available. Wingers Zhegrova and Cavaleiro threaten to miss too. Both have picked up problems while on international duties and will have to be assessed right before kick-off.
Predicted Lineup – Chevalier (GK), Santos, Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson, Andre, Bentaleb, Cabella, Haraldsson, Cavaleiro & David
Brest
Brest remain in the top 4 and only 2 points behind the leaders after being able to save a late 1-1 draw vs Toulouse. The Pirates were a bit fortunate to secure this point but their confidence helped and they’ve lost only once so far.
The Pirates travel for this match without two of their main defensive figures. Holding midfielder Camara and key centre-back Brassier are missing this match due to suspensions. At least Brest don’t have any injury issues and the manager is enjoying a clean bill of health.
Predicted Lineup – Bizot (GK), Lala, Chardonnet, Dari, Locko, Lees-Melou, Magnetti, Martin, Del Castillo, Mounie & Le Douaron
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Marco Bizot
One of the main reasons why Brest are doing so well up to now is their excellent goalkeeper Marco Bizot. He has the most saves made in Ligue 1 after 8 rounds and despite facing multiple shots on every match he has conceded only 2 goals in the last 5 league games.
Bizot's excellent form has been a constant for Brest and more of the same can be expected in this trip.
