Lille host Brann on 25 September 2025 in the Europa League group stage, with both sides aiming to make their mark in this high-stakes European fixture.
Prediction Overview
The tip is Both Teams to Score – YES (BTTS YES). Statistical and tactical indicators suggest an open game: Brann are comfortable scoring away from home, and Lille often concede in European home matches, making a mutual goal scenario likely.
Lille’s Home Scoring Dynamics & Defensive Exposure
According to FCTables, Lille have averaged 2.43 goals per match this season, and in their home matches, 2 out of 3 saw Over 1.5 goals - but only 1 (≈ 33%) exceeded Over 2.5. Meanwhile, SportsMole’s preview highlights Lille’s attacking thrust and somewhat vulnerable moments in defensive transitions. Also, in recent Europa League home games, Lille’s matches frequently see both teams scoring. The Flashscore stats note: “Each of Lille’s last five UEL home games saw both teams score.”
Brann’s Away Goal Threat & Attacking Form
Brann arrive on the back of a 3–0 away win vs Sandefjord in the Norwegian league. In their domestic campaign, Brann have scored 41 goals and maintain strong away form (6 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses) in the Eliteserien. Their away games frequently surpass 1.5 total goals: FCTables reports that in 100% of their away matches so far, total goals exceeded 1.5, and in 70% they exceeded 2.5. These figures illustrate Brann's ability to get on the scoresheet even in challenging environments.
Head-to-Head & Predictive Trends Lean Toward BTTS
While Lille vs Brann have not played many times in recent history (or possibly not at all in competitive fixtures) according to H2H stats from FCTables, predictive previews (e.g. Squawka) suggest a high likelihood of goals for both sides. Forebet gives Lille a 45% win probability in this match, leaving significant room for an opponent goal. Given these data points, combined with Brann’s history of scoring away and Lille’s home matches trending toward mutual goals, BTTS YES is well supported.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score – YES. A plausible result is Lille 2-1 Brann or 3-2 Lille, but 1-1 is also possible if Brann manage to land an early away goal and force Lille to open up.
