LOSC – Stade Brestois: Lille need a spark 
Time’s running out for LOSC. Still fifth after that goalless draw at Metz, Lille haven’t tasted a Ligue 1 win in 2026. Saturday against Brest is the perfect chance to kickstart a stuttering run. The visitors look steadier — midtable and fresh from a solid win over Lorient.
LOSC: a worrying slide 
A few months back the LOSC was looking up, Champions League in their sights. Now it’s a different picture. Six points behind Marseille for the prelims, nine off Lyon for automatic qualification. And the run is starting to hurt. Five games without a win across domestic competitions. One goal in that time. The attack’s frozen, the confidence gone. Bruno Genesio is searching for answers, but doubt is creeping in.
Worse, Pierre-Mauroy no longer feels safe. Two straight home defeats, six conceded, one scored. A third would be the club’s first three-game home losing streak in the league this century. So this Brest game feels like a crossroads. The record offers a sliver of hope: LOSC have won their last three home matches against Brest and are unbeaten in the last ten home duels with the Pirates.
Stade Brestois: modest aims, a real chance 
Brest have quietly kept their feet. Twelfth, Eric Roy’s side are in a solid spot. The 2-0 win over Lorient stopped a three-game winless run and gave them a second clean sheet of 2026. On the road the Pirates can match their best unbeaten streak of the season with a positive result on Saturday. The table’s tight — they’re only three points off the top nine. A win could shove them into the top half.
History hasn’t been kind up north. Brest haven’t beaten Lille away in the league since 1989. Even though they’ve taken points in three of the last four meetings, the task is huge. Another worry: their away form. Brest have conceded two or more goals on seven trips this season. That could bite against a Lille side desperate for redemption.
Probable line-ups
LOSC : Ozer ; Santos, Mbemba, Alexsandro, Perraud ; Bouaddi, Andre ; Edjouma, Haraldsson, Fernandez-Pardo ; Giroud
Stade Brestois : Coudert ; Lala, Chardonnet, Diaz, Guindo ; Chotard, Magnetti ; Del Castillo, Tousart, Labeau ; Ajorque

First — a quick word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot read — never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing truly is. And yes — that means you can lose. It will happen at some point.
- Play it sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch the money you need to live. And for god’s sake, don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, talk to a support organisation — that’s what they’re there for.
- In the end, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral out of control (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our tips are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain terms: you can’t use them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write. But in the meantime a line-up (like Lille’s) can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis becomes out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
