Stade Brestois 29 – Lille

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. The gap between the two squads is stark, with the champions averaging more than a goal per game while Brest have struggled to find consistency in attack. Historically, Lille have dominated recent meetings, and if they maintain that edge, the encounter could further widen the points divide at the top of the table.
