Stade Brestois 29 – Lille

Match analysis

Stade Brestois 29 host league leaders Lille in what promises to be a decisive clash as the Breton side sit seventh with five points from four games, their record balanced at one win, two draws and one loss and a neutral 6‑6 goal tally. Lille arrive at the Stade Francis-Le Blé unbeaten, having amassed ten points after three victories and a draw, and they boast a superior 7‑2 goal difference.
