Having both played out 1-1 draws before the most recent international break, Lille and Brest seek a return to victorious ways in Ligue 1 at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday.
Paulo Fonseca's team came from behind to hold Lens to a two-goal stalemate a fortnight ago, while their visitors left it late to deny Toulouse all three points.
The Dogues captain's effort came on the stroke of half time at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, but Lens finally wore their visitors down in the 70th minute, when the newly-introduced Deiver Machado met Przemyslaw Frankowski's cross and directed a slick diving header into the far corner.
Keeping up their inconsistent theme since the season began, Lille - who also failed to overcome KI Klaksvik in a 0-0 Europa Conference League draw on October 5 - are playing catch-up to the rest of the European chasers in seventh spot in the table, albeit only behind Marseille on goals scored.
Even with Canada hotshot Jonathan David only managing a pair of strikes in his opening eight Ligue 1 affairs this term, Lille have managed to score in each of their top-flight fixtures in the 2023-24 term and have only been shut out in one of their last 26 Ligue 1 home contests.
