Lille v Brann Bet Builder Quick Tips & Preview
Oliver Shaw
Fuelled by a passion for sport and a sharp instinct for uncovering patterns in data, beating the bookies became the perfect outlet for my competitive streak. Now I take pleasure in sharing my finds with ABC punters. I enjoy finding niche angles and betting value in a range of markets and leagues, my favourite being in Serie A.
Lille may have stumbled against Lens, but they’ve otherwise looked electric going forward and should fancy themselves against Brann.

Despite a disappointing result last time out against Lens, Lille have gotten off to a positive start this season, having picked up 10 points from their opening five matches.
They’ve been particularly effective going forward, and with 13 goals to their name, they boast Ligue 1’s best offensive record. The underlying numbers suggest this isn’t by chance; in fact, the 12.2xG created by Lille is also a league-topper.
Unfortunately, this has come at the cost of defensive solidity, with only five teams having conceded more xGA than Lille’s 9.1.
It’s worth noting that they shipped over a third of that (3.54) in their clash with Lens last weekend, when, despite racking up 1.90xG of their own, they fell to a 3-0 humbling.
⚫ Brann March Into Europe in League-Topping Form
With the Norwegian Eliteserien having started much earlier than Ligue 1, Brann already have 20 games under their belt, alongside the 43 points they’ve picked up on the way.
That tally suffices to put them in 3rd position, six points shy of the top two with a game in hand.
Domestically speaking, they’re the league’s most in-form side, having recorded four wins and a draw over their last five, scoring 14 goals and conceding just six.
In Europe, it hasn’t been quite as straightforward for Brann. A heavy 4-1 home defeat to RB Salzburg put an end to their Champions League hopes at the first hurdle, but they’ve since steadied themselves, winning three of their next four ties to see off Häcken and AEK Lárnaka en route to this stage.
📊 Lille v Brann H2H
This will be the first-ever meeting between Lille and Brann, but given the domestic success of both sides, it’s definitely one to keep an eye on.
