Stade Brest

Stade Brest are still in the race to keep their position on the table. They suffered a defeat last weekend against RC Lens and the gap between them and AS Monaco is now reduced to 1 point. 

The 1-0 defeat to RC Lens ended their 13-match unbeaten streak in the Ligue 1. They had good opportunities in the game and the only thing that separated both sides was Ruben Aguilar’s goal in the 32nd minute. And according to the stats, Stade Brest played a better game than RC Lens and they deserved better. They had 59% possession, 3 shots on target and 4 corner kicks. They also hit the woodwork once and had 8 shots inside the opposition’s box.

Brest had been fantastic so far in the Ligue 1 and they deserve all the applause. The defeat to RC Lens was bound to happen sooner rather than later and now they need a response. Brest manager Eric Roy has got the team playing really well and doesn't need to make any significant changes for the coming game against LOSC Lille. 

LOSC Lille

LOSC Lille made a huge breakthrough in the Conference League a few days ago. They qualified for the Quarter Finals after playing a draw with 1-1 with Sturm in the return leg of the round of 16. But their Ligue 1 form has been unstable for sometime.

In the last 5 Ligue 1 games, LOSC Lille had 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw. They played a 2-2 draw with Stade Rennes in their last game last weekend.

LOSC Lille fought back against Stade Rennes to get a draw at the end of the game after trailing by 2 goals until the 84th minute. Jonathan David scored a brace in the 84th and 92nd minute to end the game as a draw. LOSC Lille's stats were good throughout the game. They had 61% possession, 8 shots on target and 6 corner kicks. They also created 5 big chances and missed 3.

Thanks to Jonathan David's heroics, LOSC Lille were able to escape a defeat and manager Paulo Fonseca was relieved. However he will hope not to be in such a difficult position again in the coming game. The team will not be needing any changes for the coming game and Paulo Fonseca can only hope they get the job done once again.
