Lille-Brest, composition: Genesio makes a risky decision

7 victories and 8 draws: this is the very flattering record of
Lille
for 13 matches. A superb series of invincibility that the northern club will seek to extend this Friday for the reception at Stade Brestois to open the 13th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 7 p.m.).

The symbolism of this match will be strong for Lille since LOSC could also sign the 1,000th victory in its history in its stadium, for the last reception of the year. Suffice to say that Bruno Genesio will take this match very seriously.

Genesio’s difficult choice

With which starting eleven? Two options are available to the LOSC coach. The first would consist of opting for a large rotation in view of the Champions League match scheduled for Wednesday against Sturm Graz. Genesio has already shown in recent weeks that he does not hesitate to take action for his squad.

The second possibility would be to see the Lille coach rely on an eleven closer to his typical team. And it would be a fairly logical trend given the circumstances of the day, in relation to the opponent and the club’s situation in C1. Executives David, Zhegrova, André and Chevalier would therefore be expected to start this match.
