Brest are getting into their 20th season in the French topflight and their Week 1 assignment is at home to Lille. Last season both these teams played in the Champions League, an honor neither will have this time. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Brest had a first taste of the Champions League term, but that left a strain on their resources. They could only manage a ninth-place finish.
Despite the cost, the allure of European football is unmatched, and Brest will be thinking of that again this season. They just have to avoid afternoons like their last in the league, when they were blanked 6-0 by Nice.
Lille start a new season having hit a low last term, missing the Champions League just on goal difference. Les Dogues were the second best defensively in 2024/25 but finished fifth on 60 points.
Even though they had accomplished forwards, they couldn’t get the number of goals to engineer a top four finish. That was despite winning four of their closing six matches.
After a busy transfer window, there will be quite a change in Lille's outlook. Olivier Giroud is back in France after signing up with Lille, who saw their top forward Jonathan David depart for Juventus.

These two sides had contrasting finishes to the 2024/25 season. Brest suffered a 6-0 defeat to Nice as Lille beat Reims 2-1. In their last six league matches, Brest lost four, while Lille won four of their closing six games.
Both teams were engaged in high-scoring matches to end the past season, and we could see a similar trend here.
